Canada is so diverse and unique. There are many photographs of scenery, locations and vistas that symbolize what it is to be Canadian. There are so many places and pieces of Canada that we haven't seen. Bacon Magazine brings you 'Canadian Vistas', a regular feature highlighting some of these images of beautiful Canada.

Yo-da-la-de-hoo! In the southwest corner of the Yukon Territory, in the St. Elias mountain range located in Kluane National Park Reserve, stands Mount Logan; Canada's largest mountain massifs and highest point in elevation. Mount Logan was named after Sir William Edmond Logan (the founder of the Geological Survey of Canada) who is credited with pioneering surveys that made it possible to unearth the mineral treasures of Canada. He is notably remembered for mapping Upper and Lower Canada. Mount Logan is the second highest mountain in North America next to Mount Mckinley in Alaska that stands at 6194 meters. These mountains are located in one of the great mountain belts of the world. Mount Logan is an immense mountain that stretches into miles of summit-crested crevasse glaciers giving this mountain lots of cliff faces. This mountain is tectonically active and uplifts still occur here. Mount Logan is considered to be a fast rising mountain and it continues to grow. In 1992 an expedition team installed survey markers to measure these continuing changes in altitude using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.

Proudly standing at 5959 meters high, Mount Logan attracts many experienced climbers from around the world who want to conquer this natural, snowy expanse. In 1925, A.H. MacCarthy led a team of 6 climbers and they were the first to ascend Mount Logan. Since this time there have been numerous expeditions and hundreds of people have made the ascent. The climbing at Mount Logan is considered to be unique as the standard route increases in elevation slowly so climbers are forced to travel long distances at high elevations i.e. more than 100 kilometers of glacier that can take upwards of 2 weeks. On this mountain one can feel and see the remnants of the last Ice Age. Snow and ice cover the majority of the mountain and the best time to climb Mount Logan is considered to be April, May and June. Mount Logan really is a thing of beauty standing majestically above all of Canada.
