Mount Odin is a mountain in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in Auyuittuq National Park along the Akshayuk Pass, 46 km (29 mi) north of Pangnirtung and south of Mount Asgard. Mount Odin is the highest mountain on Baffin Island.
Mount Odin is the highest mountain within the Baffin Mountains as well as the fifth highest in the Arctic Cordillera. It has a topographic prominence of 2,147 m (7,044 ft), greater than any other mountain within the Baffin Mountains and on Baffin Island, making Odin the third highest mountain in Nunavut by topographic prominence.[1][2] Odin is the fifth highest peak in Nunavut and eastern North America (if one defines North America as Canada and the United States).[1][3]
The mountain is named after Odin, the chief of the gods in Norse mythology and Norse paganism.
