Mount Saint Elias
Mount Saint Elias (Was'eitushaa, also designated Boundary Peak 186) is an 18,008 foot (5,489 m) mountain located approximately 11 miles (18 km) northeast of the Pacific Ocean on the Yukon-Alaska border. It is the second-highest mountain in both Canada and the United States, as well as in the Yukon and Alaska. The Canadian side of Mount Saint Elias forms part of Kluane National Park and Reserve, while the U.S. side of the mountain is located within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
Although it is only 26 miles (42 km) southwest of Mount Logan, the highest mountain in Canada, it nonetheless retains a high prominence due to the low Columbus-Seward Glacier separating them. Due to notoriously bad weather and difficult climbing routes, Mount Saint Elias is infrequently climbed.
