Wiwaxy Peak is a mountain peak near Lake O'Hara in British Columbia, Canada. It was named in 1894 by Samuel E.S. Allen for the Stoney First Nations word for "windy". The Burgess Shale animal, Wiwaxia corrugata is named after it.
Famous quotes containing the word peak:
“Sleep shall neither night nor day
Hang upon his penthouse lid;
He shall live a man forbid;
Weary sev’n-nights, nine times nine,
Shall he dwindle, peak and pine;
Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tossed.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
