    Mount Cline is a mountain in western Alberta, Canada, 11 km (7 mi) north of Saskatchewan Crossing, 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Nordegg.[2]

    The mountain is located in the North Saskatchewan River Valley, 2 km (1 mi) west of Resolute Mountain.[1] It was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie, after Michel Klyne (also called Michael Cline), French Canadian postmaster of Jasper House from 1824 to 1835.[1]

    Geology[edit]

    Mount Cline is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[5] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[6]

    Climate[edit]

    Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Cline is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[7] Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C.
