— a note from the studio

“The high point of Canada, deep inside Kluane National Park. Mount Logan rises 5,959 metres out of one of the largest non-polar icefields on Earth. It is a flat-topped massif, not a peak — a plateau of snow above ten kilometres of glacier. The base is reached only by ski-plane from Kluane Lake, and even from the lake the mountain is a long horizon, white on white. *from the studio*

Mount Logan, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— about Mount Logan

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Mount Logan is the highest mountain in Canada and the second-highest in North America, after Denali. Its summit reaches 5,959 metres, and it sits inside Kluane National Park and Reserve in the southwest corner of the Yukon, near the Alaska border. The mountain was named for Sir William Edmond Logan, founder of the Geological Survey of Canada. Its summit massif covers more area above 5,000 metres than any other mountain on Earth, and the surrounding St. Elias icefield is one of the largest outside the polar regions.

— the silence

Kluane National Park covers 22,000 square kilometres of the St. Elias Mountains and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that crosses into Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska. There are no roads to Logan. The standard approach is by ski-plane from a base on Kluane Lake to a glacier landing near 2,700 metres, after which the climb takes most parties two to three weeks. The interior of the icefield is one of the quietest landscapes in North America — no settlements, no overflights routed across it.

— informed by Parks Canada — Kluane
— the air

Logan's summit weather is the closest analogue to Himalayan conditions found in North America. The barometric pressure on top reads lower than the elevation alone would predict because of its high northern latitude, so climbers experience the air as nearer to 6,400 metres than 5,959. Recorded temperatures on the summit plateau have reached the lowest measured anywhere outside Antarctica. The first ascent, in 1925, was led by Albert MacCarthy on a 65-day expedition; modern attempts still budget four to six weeks for the round trip from Whitehorse.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Mount Logan — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Mount Logan stands in Kluane National Park in the southwest Yukon, close to the Alaska border. The nearest road is at Kluane Lake, about 75 kilometres northeast of the mountain itself.

Mount Logan reaches 5,959 metres, or 19,551 feet. It is the highest mountain in Canada and the second-highest in North America, after Denali in Alaska.

The mountain is named for Sir William Edmond Logan, a nineteenth-century Canadian geologist who founded the Geological Survey of Canada. He never saw the mountain that carries his name.

The first ascent was made in 1925 by a six-man party led by Albert MacCarthy. The expedition took 65 days from the railhead, and the summit attempt itself ran nearly out of food and fuel.

There are no roads or trails to Logan. Access is by ski-plane to a glacier landing inside Kluane National Park, and only experienced expedition teams reach the upper mountain. The peak is visible from flightseeing routes.

The St. Elias icefield surrounding Mount Logan is one of the largest non-polar ice masses on Earth and forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site that joins Kluane in Canada with Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. It has carried well for customers with ties to the Yukon, Alaska, or the wider St. Elias range — climbers, pilots, and Parks Canada staff. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note is the most-asked-for format.

The piece sits well in alpine-modern, Scandi-cool, and lodge-minimal rooms. The white-on-blue palette reads quiet and cold, so it holds the wall against warm wood, leather, and wool without competing.

Yes. Alpine-modern and quiet-luxury mountain interiors lean on restrained ice and stone palettes, and the piece fits that direction without veering into themed or rustic cabin.

Above a standard sofa or long console, a single Large reads as the centrepiece. For a wider wall, a 4-tile Mural carries the room, and a 9-tile Mural is the full statement piece.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and stand up to steam and splash, so the tile can live above a basin, a backsplash, or inside a shower wall.

A soft microfibre cloth, dry or barely damp with water, is all that is needed. No sprays, no abrasives. The colour lives in the ceramic surface itself, so it will not lift with cleaning.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to our studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. There is no licensing and no third-party artwork — the eye is Reid's, the work is finished in-house.
