King Peak, Mountain summit in Yukon, Canada.
King Peak rises to an elevation of 5,173 meters in the Saint Elias Mountains, standing as the fourth-highest mountain peak in Canada.
The first successful climb of King Peak occurred in June 1952 when a group of University of Alaska students reached the summit through the Ogilvie Glacier.
The mountain represents a significant achievement for mountaineers, drawing expert climbers who attempt to reach its summit through technical glacier and ice routes.
Climbing expeditions require extensive preparation, specialized equipment, and monitoring of weather conditions due to the remote location and high elevation challenges.
The mountain functions as a research site for scientists studying glacial patterns and climate variations in the northern regions of North America.
