Snow Dome (Canada) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Snow Dome (Canada)
Snow Dome is a mountain located on the Continental Divide in the Columbia Icefield, where the boundary of Banff National Park〔(Legal description of Banff National Park: Canadian Legal Information Institute )〕 and Jasper National Park〔(Legal description of Jasper National Park: Canadian Legal Information Institute )〕 meets the border of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie because its snow-capped massif resembles a dome.〔 The mountain, reaching a height of , is possibly a hydrological apex of North America, depending on the definition of the boundary between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, and of which of those hydrographic regions Hudson Bay is considered to be a part. (The other apex is Triple Divide Peak in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.) Water falling on Snow Dome's summit may flow into streams that drain into the Pacific Ocean (via Bryce Creek, the Bush River and the Columbia River), the Arctic Ocean (via the Sunwapta and Athabasca Rivers), and Hudson Bay (via the North Saskatchewan River). The ''Dome Glacier'' flows to the north-east, the ''Stutfield Glacier'' to the north-west, the ''Columbia Glacier'' to the west and Athabasca Glacier flows to the east of the mountain. ==References==
