Adamant Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert mountain in British Columbia, Canada.

Description

Adamant Mountain is the highest point of the Adamant Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains.[1] It also ranks as the fourth-highest peak in the Selkirks.[2][3] It is located Шаблон:Convert northwest of Golden and Шаблон:Convert north of Glacier National Park. Adamant is highly glaciated with large glaciers radiating in all directions, including the Granite, Adamant, Gothics, and Austerity glaciers. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Columbia River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,700 metres (5,577 ft) above Austerity Creek in Шаблон:Convert and 2,600 m (8,530 ft) above Kinbasket Lake in Шаблон:Convert. Access to this remote mountain is via helicopter at Golden.[4]
