Mount Asgard

Inselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths

Mount Asgard is a granite mountain in Auyuittuq National Park on the Cumberland Peninsula of Baffin Island, in Nunavut, Canada, reaching 2,015 meters. It takes the form of two flat topped, cylindrical rock towers separated by a saddle, giving it a twin peaked profile unlike any other mountain in the range. Its sheer granite walls have made it one of the best known big wall climbing destinations in the Canadian Arctic.
