Centennial Range : ウィキペディア英語版 | Centennial Range
The Centennial Range is a sub-range of the Saint Elias Mountains. It is located inside Kluane National Park and Reserve in the far west of the Yukon Territory in Canada. It consists of fourteen major peaks, and was named for Canada's Centennial in 1967. Its peaks bear the names of Canada's provinces and territories, with the exception of Nunavut, which was not a territory at the time. The tallest point is Centennial Peak. Nine of the peaks were climbed as part of the Yukon Alpine Centennial Expedition, part of the 1967 celebrations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://expo67.ncf.ca/climbing_for_the_centennial.html )〕 ==Geography==

The peaks are lower than the surrounding mountains; no Centennial peak is over , while nearby peaks like Mount Steele and Lucania measure over .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bivouac.com//ArxPg.asp?ArxId=1050 )〕 The range lies within Kluane National Park and Reserve. The range runs roughly east to west, and is bounded by the Walsh Glacier to the south, and the Chitina Glacier to the north.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://expo67.ncf.ca/centennial_mountain_climbing_000aa001.html )〕 The peaks are named for Canada's provinces and territories (with the exceptions of Centennial Peak and Mount Baffin, named after Baffin Island), and loosely correspond geographically to the positions of their namesakes. Mount Northwest is the farthest west, while Mount Nova Scotia is the easternmost peak. Nunavut does not have a mountain due to it not being a territory in 1967, when the peaks were named. The highest point in the range is Centennial Peak at .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bivouac.com//MtnPg.asp?MtnId=2834 )〕
