Ipasha Peak

Head on view of Ipasha Peak (9450'), with Ahern Glacier (L), and Mount Merritt creeping into the frame at far right. The picture doesn't, of course, give any sense of scale, but Ipasha is 9450', Merritt is the lowest of GNP's six 10000+ foot peaks at 10004'; the snow field in the lower right quarter of the image is at 5,525'. These mountains are big! The lake in the lower left corner is called Helen Lake (5085'), and Ahern Peak is just out of the image on the left. Photo by Vernon, July 20, 2005.
