OK Martin,

That was pretty tough if not impossible until the last clue.

Mont D'Iberville or Mount Caubvick, depending on which side of the Quebec/Newfoundland border you're on. 58º 53' N 63º 43' W 1652 meters/5419 ft. Torngat Mountains. Also the highest point in Quebec. I'm sure that this will ignite a war between Canadian factions as to whether or not they are separate mountains, only a sub-shoulder of the other and the true height. I'm just an ignorant American who refuses to step into the fray.

Oh jeez now I've got to come up with something to stump this crowd.

I'm sure you'll whip through this one. The place has some historical significance.

Although dry in this shot, the snow was deep. A bit easier to get to today.

And I so wanted to use this view.
