Nelles Peak is a remote 2,531-metre (8,304-foot) mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is situated at the northeastern periphery of the Juneau Icefield, 5.0 km (3.1 mi) inside the BC-Alaska boundary, on the west side of Tulsequah Lake. Its nearest higher peak is Devils Paw, 9.0 km (5.6 mi) to the southeast.[1] Nelles Peak is the second-highest summit of the icefield, after Devils Paw.[2] The mountain was named in 1924 to honor Douglas H. Nelles (1881–1960), a Canadian engineer who participated with the International Boundary Survey party of 1907.[5] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1947 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3]
