Commonwealth Mountain

Commonwealth Mountain is a two thousand two hundred twenty-five-metre peak on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada, in the western part of Quttinirpaaq National Park. It is the highest point of the Challenger Mountains, a subrange of the Arctic Cordillera. Set in an extreme High Arctic environment, it lies within one of the country’s farthest-north protected landscapes. Its location also ties it to Quttinirpaaq’s broader distinction as marking Canada’s northernmost reach and standing as the second most northerly national park on Earth, after Northeast Greenland National Park.
