Mount Duncan

Mount Duncan is a prominent peak on the southern edge of Glacier National Park in British Columbia, in the Battle Range of the Selkirk Mountains. More remarkable for its dramatic relief than its absolute elevation, it rises sharply above nearby valleys and supports the Duncan Névé and Duncan Glacier on its slopes in a harsh subarctic climate. Named in 1890 in connection with the Duncan River, which commemorates early prospector John “Jack” Duncan, the mountain received its official name in 1904. Its summit was first reached on August 25, 1913, securing its place in the early mountaineering history of the Selkirks.
