Mount Jellicoe is a 3,075-metre (10,089-foot) mountain summit located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Smith-Dorrien, 2.0 km (1.2 mi) to the north.[1] The Haig Glacier lies below the west aspect of Jellicoe, and the Smith-Dorrien Glacier lies to the north. The Continental Divide is 2.0 km (1.2 mi) to the west.
Like so many of the mountains in Kananaskis Country, Mount Jellicoe received its name from the persons and ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland, the only major sea battle of the First World War.[4]
