The Livingston Range is a mountain range located primarily in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana, and in the extreme southeastern section of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The range is 36 miles (58 km) long and 28 miles (45 km) wide. Over 15 summits exceed 9,000 ft (2,700 m) above sea level, and the highest point is Kintla Peak at 10,101 feet (3,079 m). (While these elevations are not particularly high for North American mountains, they are high compared to the roughly 4,000 foot (1,200 m) elevation of the nearby valleys, making for particularly dramatic peaks.)

- La chaînon Livingston est un massif montagneux des montagnes Rocheuses située dans le Nord du Montana aux États-Unis. Le massif, qui passe dans le parc national de Glacier, fait 58 km de long sur 45 km de large. Plus de 15 sommets dépassent les 2 700 mètres d’altitude. Le point culminant est le pic Kintla qui culmine à 3 079 mètres alors que les vallées environnantes sont à environ 1 200 mètres de haut ce qui rend les montagnes imposantes vu la différence de hauteur.

| - The Livingston Range is a mountain range located primarily in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana, and in the extreme southeastern section of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The range is 36 miles (58 km) long and 28 miles (45 km) wide. Over 15 summits exceed 9,000 ft (2,700 m) above sea level, and the highest point is Kintla Peak at 10,101 feet (3,079 m). (While these elevations are not particularly high for North American mountains, they are high compared to the roughly 4,000 foot (1,200 m) elevation of the nearby valleys, making for particularly dramatic peaks.) The Livingston Range was initially uplifted beginning 170 million years ago when the Lewis Overthrust fault pushed an enormous slap of precambrian rocks 3 mi (4.8 km) thick, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 160 miles (260 km) long over newer rocks of the cretaceous period.

- La chaînon Livingston est un massif montagneux des montagnes Rocheuses située dans le Nord du Montana aux États-Unis. Le massif, qui passe dans le parc national de Glacier, fait 58 km de long sur 45 km de large. Plus de 15 sommets dépassent les 2 700 mètres d’altitude. Le point culminant est le pic Kintla qui culmine à 3 079 mètres alors que les vallées environnantes sont à environ 1 200 mètres de haut ce qui rend les montagnes imposantes vu la différence de hauteur. Formé par le phénomène géologique nommé chevauchement de Lewis qui commença il y a 170 millions d’années, un énorme bloc de roches datant du Précambrien d’environ 5 km d’épaisseur sur 80 km de large et 257 km de long s’est soulevé au-dessus des roches plus jeunes datant du Crétacé. Il est très rare en géologie que les vieilles roches se trouvent ainsi au-dessus des plus jeunes. (fr)
