I've created a disambiguation page at Snow Dome and moved that article to this page.
The photo shown is not Snow Dome -- it is the Athabasca Glacier

Not really the hydrologic apex?
editSnow Dome's status as the hydrological apex of North America depends on whether Hudson Bay is part of the Atlantic Ocean or the Arctic Ocean. The entry for Triple Divide Peak (Montana) makes the claim that it is the hydrologic peak of N.A. The Wikipedia entries for the two oceans agree that Hudson Bay is part of the Arctic Ocean, which would mean that Snow Dome doesn't really drain into the Atlantic. However, the claim that Snow Dome is the hydrologic apex is widespread - see the externally linked Peakfinder page or tourist maps of the Columbia Icefields.
If the definition of "hydrologic apex" is broadly taken to mean "a point that drains into three bodies of water", then both Snow Dome and Triple Divide Peak could be hydrologic apexes. However, if the definition is taken to mean "a point that drains into all oceans surrounding a continent", then only one of them may be.
