Mount Assiniboine,
Canadian Rockies, British Columbia/Alberta, Canada (11,870ft/3,618m)
Situated along the Alberta and British Columbia border in
Canada, Mount Assiniboine wouldn't look out of place in Iceland. This beautiful
peak is surrounded by an equally idyllic landscape and there's a fascinating
story behind its name too. Named by geologist George Mercer Dawson in 1885, the
clouds trailing from the top of the mountain reminded him of the smoke plumes
rising from the teepees of the Assiniboine people.
