Mount White-Fraser is a 2,331 metres (7,648 ft) glaciated mountain located in the Boundary Ranges of British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 31 kilometres (19 mi) north-northwest of Stewart, and 10 km (6 mi) northwest of Mount Bayard. Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from the surrounding Salmon Glacier drains into the Salmon River. The mountain was named by the International Boundary Survey for one of its own members, George White-Fraser (1872-1920), who also served with the Canadian Infantry in France during World War I.[3] The mountain's name was officially adopted March 31, 1924. Weather permitting, the mountain can be seen from the gravel Granduc Mine Road near Hyder, Alaska, which is seasonally open in summer.
