Mount Fox (Selkirk Mountains)

Mount Fox in the Selkirk Mountains of Canada was named, by William Green, in honour of Harry Fox who perished with William Donkin and two Swiss guides, in the Caucasus Mountains. Mount Donkin is nearby.
Harry Fox was an English gentleman who was a sportsman and adventurer. He played cricket and rugby for his country, and began climbing mountains in the mid-1880s.
In 1884 he started mountaineering, and within two years he was well known in the mountain climbing community, and a well-regarded alpine explorer. In 1888, he travelled with William Frederick Donkin to the Caucasus Mountains in the Russian Empire in a bid to be the first people to climb Koshtan-Tau, but the pair, along with their Swiss guides, died in an accident.
For the purposes of his will, Fox's death was recorded as being "on or since the 30th August, 1888, at some place unknown."
