It's not all Black & White

The mountain peaks In the center of the photo from left to right are Normandy Peak, Ardennes Peak, Rhine Peak and Elbe Peak.

 

Initially referred to as Kadoona Mountain by Mary Schaffer, the name was not formally adopted. The group of peaks was officially named in 1994, Ex Coelis, which is Latin for "Out of the Clouds".

 

Ex Coelis is the motto of the First Canadian Parachute Battalion, one of eight battalions which made up the Sixth British Airborne Division during World War II.
