This is a list of the highest points of the Canadian provinces and territories, by height. ;Notes *Fairweather Mountain is the officially gazetted name, but Mount Fairweather is the common usage. Mount Fairweather is on the boundary with Alaska, with only the summit and about 1/3 of the peak's massif within British Columbia. The highest summit completely within British Columbia is Mount Waddington in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. *Because it is on the Continental Divide of the Americas, Mount Columbia is in British Columbia as well as Alberta. *Nirvana is the unofficial name of this mountain and shows on alpine literature as such, the Canadian Government still refers to it as "unnamed peak". *This peak, which lies on the border between the two provinces, is known as Mount Caubvick in Newfoundland and Labrador and Mont D'Iberville in Quebec. The difference in heights between the Labrador and Quebec sides is not a misprint; the summit of the mountain is entirely within Labrador, about from the provincial border. *The main peak of Maple Mountain has a higher vertical rise over the surrounding landscape, higher than the Ishpatina Ridge rising over Scarecrow Lake. ==Lowest points== Since there is no land area of Canada that is below sea level,〔(Highest Points by Province and Territory ) at the Atlas of Canada〕 the lowest elevation of Canada is at any point along its maritime coast, and all provinces and territories except Alberta and Saskatchewan have a maritime coast. The shore of Lake Athabasca, which straddles Alberta and Saskatchewan, is Saskatchewan's lowest dry point ( above sea level). The Slave River (which drains Lake Athabasca) flows from Northeastern Alberta into the Northwest Territories and is Alberta's lowest point at the N.W.T. border ( above sea level). However, the False Creek Tunnel, part of the Canada Line rail-based transit system in Vancouver, at 29 metres below sea level, is the lowest publicly accessible point in Canada.〔http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/learningresources/facts/faq.html〕 Parts of the City of Richmond are below sea-level, though behind dikes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of highest points of Canadian provinces and territories」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
