Mt. Logan, Yukon Territory, Canada.

Hey Folks,

This is a photo of Mt. Logan and the University Range, with Mt. St. Elias in the background. Though Mt. Logan sits in the Kluane National Park and Reserve in southwestern Yukon Territory, Canada, this aerial photo was taken from Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska. Mt. Logan stands close to 20 000′ high, nearly as high as Denali, or Mt. McKinley, in Alaska, and with it’s awesome bulk, it’s every bit as grand. Mt.

St. Elias is the highest peak in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and stands 18,008 feet (5,489 metres), whilst Mt. Logan, the highest peak across the border in the Yukon Territory, Canada, stands 5,959 metres (19,550 feet) ASL Continue reading →
