		Barbeau Peak is the highest peak east of the Rockies in North America.

	Barbeau, Marius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Barbeau returned to Canada in 1910, and was hired the next year as anthropologist and ethnologist to the Museum Branch of the Geological Survey of Canada (which in 1927 became the National Museum).
		In 1916 Barbeau set off on a recording expedition along the St Lawrence River, determined to refute the assumption that Ernest Gagnon, in his Chansons populaires du Canada (Quebec 1865), had published all the traditional French songs there were to be found.
		In 1969 the highest mountain in the Canadian Arctic was christened Barbeau peak, and in 1985, Montreal was given a Marius Barbeau street in the Rivière-des-Prairies district.

	e.Peak (24/1/2000) arts: Weaving the St. Lawrence River through time and space
		Barbeau's work is radically abstract, his painting and sculptures are his personal reactions to the river.
		It has been said about Barbeau that he paints light, and a glimpse at the piece 'Lumiere de Charlevoix' does seem to be luminescent.
		The St. Lawrence River may seem like a peculiar site for inspiration, but Barbeau and his contemporaries chose the St. Lawrence area because of its relation to their quests for the supernatural, instead of viewing the St. Lawrence as a symbol of nostalgia for a rural past.

	Barbeau Peak
		Barbeau Peak, the apex of Ellesmere Island, is the highest mountian in the Canadian Arctic Islands.
		Barbeau is often called the highest mountain in eastern North America, but that ignores Greenland and the Caribbean Islands, both of which have higher peaks.
		The ascent is relatively easy from the north, and the main difficulty in ascending the peak is extreme remoteness.

	Harney Peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The peak is the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains in mainland North America.
		The peak was named in the late 1850s by Lieutenant G K Warren in honor of General William S. Harney, who was commander of the military in the Black Hills area in the late 1870s.
		Hence the stipulation "mainland." Also, one must consider many peaks in Mexico as lying south of the Rockies, not east of them (despite having a more easterly longitude) for this statement to be true.

	Arctic astronomy
		There are there other peaks of more than 2000 m but no one as close to the pole as Barbeau.
		One needs high rising peaks to access high atmospheric layers without changing them very much, but not exactly on the sea border because there is too much moisture.
		This means that at the Barbeau elevation the precipitations should be close to 0 mm for the winter nighttime, which makes it the driest astronomical site known.

		Richard Smith, Nick Fairfax and myself would be the first Australians to climb Barbeau Peak (at 2606 metres, the highest in eastern North America) and our plan to `man'-haul across Ellesmere's largest, highest and most northerly ice cap would also be a world first.
		We used a solar lens to dry his boots and clothing in a couple of hours, an early confirmation of the potential of this handy instrument.
		At one point we were confronted by a 40-metre-deep ravine, and as we stood on its edge and watched the swirling waters rush through the spiralling holes in the ice, we were awe-struck by the immensity of `all things Ellesmere'.
