涅槃山 山峰

Mount Nirvana, at 2,773 m (9,098 ft) is the unofficial name of the highest mountain in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The mountain is a part of Nahanni National Park Reserve, the largest national park in the Northwest Territories.

History

Part of the Mackenzie Mountains, it was first climbed by Bill Buckingham and Lew Surdam in July 1965. Buckingham gave the mountain the moniker of "Mount Nirvana" at that time.

Before 2016, only five successful ascents were recorded, all with the assistance of helicopters or floatplane. In June 2016, Nirvana was climbed without assistance for the first time.
