Mount McKay
Mount McKay (Ojibwe: Anemki Wajiw) is a mafic sill located south of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, on the First Nation Reserve of the Fort William First Nation.
It is the highest, most northern and best known of the Nor'Wester Mountains. It formed during a period of magmatic activity associated with the large Midcontinent Rift System about 1,100 million years ago.
