Brave Mountain

Brave Mountain is a summit in the Selamiut Range of the Torngat Mountains rising to roughly 1,300 meters and shaped by steep ridges and glacial cirques. The peak features rocky terrain marked by prominent slopes that descend toward surrounding valleys and basins.

The mountain stands as a geological record of northern Labrador's landscape formation, shaped through millions of years of natural processes. Glaciers from different ice ages deeply carved its ridges and valleys into the form seen today.

The mountain territory holds significance for indigenous communities of Newfoundland and Labrador who have traveled these lands for generations.

Reaching the mountain requires extensive preparation and arranging transportation by bush plane or boat due to its remote northern setting. Visitors should expect cold conditions, unpredictable weather, and limited shelter options in this isolated region.

The peak holds the rare distinction of being the highest island summit along the entire Atlantic coast of North America. This unusual geographical position sets it apart among eastern mountain ranges across the continent.
