Mount Battle

Mount Battle is a mountain on Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada, about 65 kilometers northeast of Pangnirtung, within the Baffin Mountains of the larger Arctic Cordillera. It was named for Ben Battle, a geomorphologist from McGill University, who died during the 1953 Arctic Institute of North America research-mountaineering expedition after drowning while crossing a meltwater-swollen stream near Glacier Lake. The mountain’s name ties this Arctic landscape to the history of scientific exploration in the eastern Arctic.
