Mount Asgard, Mountain peak in Auyuittuq National Park, Canada

Mount Asgard presents two cylindrical granite towers reaching 2015 meters high, separated by a natural saddle formation in the Baffin Mountains range.

The first ascent of Mount Asgard's North Peak occurred in 1953 by mountaineers J. Weber, J. Marmet, and Hans Röthlisberger during the Baffin Island Expedition.

The mountain received its name from Norse mythology, referencing Asgard, the celestial dwelling place of the gods in ancient Nordic traditions.

Access to Mount Asgard requires advanced planning, proper climbing equipment, and consideration of extreme weather conditions throughout the climbing season.

The mountain gained international recognition after a BASE jumping sequence for the James Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me' was filmed there.
