Selwyn Range (British Columbia)

The Selwyn Range is a subrange of the Canadian Rockies, located in northern British Columbia, Canada. It lies east of the Rocky Mountain Trench and west of the Muskwa Ranges. Specifically, it's situated north of the Peace Reach of Williston Lake and generally stretches northward toward the Yukon border.

The range is characterized by rugged peaks, deep valleys, and significant glaciation, though its glaciers have retreated considerably in recent decades. The Selwyn Range is primarily composed of sedimentary rocks, including limestone, shale, and sandstone, which were uplifted and folded during the formation of the Rocky Mountains.

The area is relatively remote and sparsely populated, primarily used for resource extraction, including logging and mineral exploration. Wildlife is abundant and includes species such as caribou, moose, bears, wolves, and various birds. Access is limited, often requiring floatplanes or bush planes for transportation to remote locations. The range is subject to harsh weather conditions, particularly during the winter months.
