Defender Mountain is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia on the Continental Divide.

History

Defender Mountain was named in 1916 by the Interprovincial Boundary Survey after the British Royal Navy ship HMS Defender (1911) that took part in the Battle of Jutland in World War I. The mountain's name was officially adopted as Mount Defender in 1924 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada and officially changed to Defender Mountain in 1966.
