The
Waddington Range is a subrange of the
Pacific Ranges of the
Coast Mountains in southwestern
British Columbia,
Canada. It is only about 4000 km² (1545 sq mi) in area, relatively small in area within the expanse of the range, but it is the highest area of the
Pacific Ranges and of the
Coast Mountains, being crowned by its namesake
Mount Waddington 4019 m (13186 ft). The Waddington Range is also extremely rugged and more a complex of peaks than a single icefield, in contrast to the other huge icefield-massifs of the southern
Coast Mountains, which are not so peak-studded and tend to have more contiguous icemasses.
