Mount Kennedy, Mountain summit in Kluane National Park, Yukon, Canada
Mount Kennedy rises 4238 meters within the Saint Elias Mountains, featuring the Dusty Glacier along its northern face near the Alaska Panhandle.
Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson announced the mountain's naming in honor of President John F. Kennedy at the House of Commons in 1964.
Robert F. Kennedy placed personal items at the summit during the first ascent in 1965, including his brother's inaugural address and commemorative medallions.
The mountain requires advanced glacier travel skills and careful consideration of weather conditions, with base camps typically established on Cathedral Glacier.
Before its first ascent in 1965, Mount Kennedy held the distinction of being North America's highest unclimbed peak at that time.
