Why seek to scale Mount Everest, / Queen of the Air,
Why strive to crown that cruel crest / And deathward dare?
Said Mallory of dauntless quest / ‘Because it’s there.’
—Dauntless Quest by Robert William Service
But more often than not, it’s to find places like this.
The ridge that runs to the right from the shoulder of Mount Spearman, Canada, can also be seen in this shot

Absoutely beautiful shot.
Breathtaking and so peaceful, thank you
Thank you both for the comments – I’m glad you like the shot. The Waddington range in BC is one of the most stunning places I’ve visited and this particular morning was especially beautiful.
A beautiful and inspiring shot, I love BC.
this is a pretty shot! living in finland, it’s never quite like this.. then again, we don’t have mountains either.
keep up the good work
Just found your site and love this gorgeous shot. You must have felt on top of the world – literally.
