Nature
Mount Bonney is a three thousand one hundred-metre peak in Glacier National Park in British Columbia's Selkirk Mountains, set amid the Bonney, Clarke, and Swanzy glaciers and the Bonney Névé near Rogers Pass. It became part of early climbing history in 1888 when Reverend William S. Green and Reverend Henry Swanzy made the first ascent, and in 1904 Henrietta L. Tuzo made the first ascent by a woman with guide Christian Bohren. Green named the mountain and nearby icefields for British geologist Thomas George Bonney. Its prominence today rests on both its dramatic glaciated setting and its mountaineering significance.
