Peaks
- Mount Chamberlin at 9020 ft (2,749 m), is generally considered to be the highest peak in the range.
Other notable peaks include:
-
- Mount Isto at 8,975 ft (2,736 m)
- Mount Michelson at 8,855 ft (2,699 m)
- The Gates of Kiev at 7775 ft (2370 m), the highest point in the central part of the range, and
- Black Mountain at 5020 ft (1530 m) the highest point in the far western part of the range.
- Mount Doonerak
- Mount Igikpak
- Frigid Crags West Gate
- Boreal Mountain East Gate
Some sources, including the USGS 1:250,000 scale map Demarcation Point A-5, quote Mount Isto's height as 9,050 ft, which would make it the highest point in the range. Also, some sources quote Mount Michelson's height as 9,239 ft, which would make it the highest point; however, this is far above the 8,855 foot figure given on the USGS Mount Michelson B-1 quadrangle topographic map, so it is unlikely to be correct.

Famous quotes containing the word peaks:
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation—the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honour, Duty, Patriotism, and, clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“On the secret map the assassins
Cloistered, the Moon River was marked
Near the eighteen peaks and the city
Of humiliation and defeat ...”
