Nanga Parbat Mountain

Nanga Parbat Mountain, Mountain peak in British Columbia, Canada

Nanga Parbat Mountain is a summit on the border of Alberta and British Columbia at the head of the Mummery Glacier, north of Golden. Its top reaches 2,670 metres above sea level, and the terrain around it is mainly mountainous, with ice and snow cover year-round.

Nanga Parbat Mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie, who had climbed on the Himalayan Nanga Parbat in 1895. The name was given to this peak at the head of the Mummery Glacier, north of Golden, on the Alberta–British Columbia border.

The name comes from Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas, the ninth-highest mountain in the world, where J. Norman Collie climbed in 1895. He gave the Canadian peak the same name in 1898, so the summit carries a Himalayan name into the Rockies.

The peak sits at the head of the Mummery Glacier, north of Golden, on the Alberta–British Columbia boundary; the summit reaches 2,670 m. The surrounding terrain is mostly mountainous, with hilly ground to the northeast, and the area is permanently covered by ice and snow. Fewer than two people per square kilometre live nearby, and there are no settlements in the vicinity.

The mountain carries the name of Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas because J. Norman Collie, who named it in 1898, had climbed on that Himalayan peak in 1895. The two mountains are unrelated in geology, linked only by Collie's travels.
