Description

Wikipedia

Mount Lucania is a mountain in the Yukon territory, Canada. At 5,240 metres (17,192 ft), it is the third-highest mountain in both Canada and the Saint Elias Mountains. A long ridge connects Mount Lucania with Mount Steele (5,073 metres [16,644 feet]), the fifth-highest in Canada. Lucania was named by the Duke of Abruzzi, as he stood on the summit of Mount Saint Elias on July 31, 1897, having just completed the first ascent. Seeing Lucania in the far distance, beyond Mount Logan, he immediately named it "after the ship on which the expedition had sailed from Liverpool to New York," the RMS Lucania.
