Mount Edith Cavell, located in the Athabasca River and Astoria River in the Jasper National Park, Canada. The mountain was named for Edith Cavell in 1916, for the English nurse executed by the Germans during World War I for helping allied solders escape from occupied Belgium to the Netherlands.
As the glacier at the foot of the mountain recedes, saplings have started to gain a foothold.

Elle s'étend sur le territoire des États-Unis et du Canada. Son altitude varie entre 1 500 m près des hautes plaines et 4 401 m au Mont Elbert dans le Colorado. Sa largeur est comprise entre 120 et 650 km. Les Montagnes Rocheuses prennent une forme oblongue, étendue en longitude sur plusieurs milliers de kilomètres.
