Mount Lucania, Mountain summit in Kluane National Park, Canada
Mount Lucania rises to 5240 meters within the Saint Elias Mountains, making it the third-highest peak in Canada and eighth-highest in North America.
Bradford Washburn and Robert Hicks Bates completed the first ascent in 1937, using air support to reach Walsh Glacier before hiking 150 miles through wilderness.
The mountain received its name from the RMS Lucania ship that transported the Duke of Abruzzi from Liverpool to New York for his 1897 expedition.
Climbing expeditions to Mount Lucania require extensive planning, permits from park authorities, satellite phones, and costs between $5000 to $15000 for equipment and transportation.
In 2022, researchers discovered Bradford Washburn's original climbing equipment from 1937 on Walsh Glacier, which had moved 14 miles from its initial location.
