Mount Nirvana, Mountain summit in Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Mount Nirvana reaches an elevation of 2,773 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
William Buckingham and Lewis Surdam completed the first recorded ascent of Mount Nirvana on July 29, 1965, giving the mountain its current name.
The mountain serves as a representation of Canadian mountaineering achievements, with only five successful ascents recorded before 2016, all utilizing air support.
