Nelles Peak

Nelles Peak is a remote mountain in the Coast Mountains of northwestern British Columbia, near the northeastern edge of the Juneau Icefield and just inside the British Columbia–Alaska boundary west of Tulsequah Lake. At 2,531 metres, it is the second-highest summit on the icefield after Devils Paw. The peak was named in 1924 for Canadian engineer Douglas H. Nelles, who served with the International Boundary Survey party of 1907, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada formally adopted the name in 1947. In a subarctic climate of heavy precipitation and severe cold, its runoff flows to the Tulsequah River in the Taku River watershed.
