30.5' W. Mount Thule, at 1,711 m (5,614 ft), was climbed in 1954 by
American Ben Ferris, a member of the Harvard Mountaineering Club. In 1963, British explorer Bill Tilman sailed his boat to the north coast and traversed the island from north to south, but did not climb any of the larger peaks. Laurie Dexter, an Anglican minister and Arctic resident, explored and climbed peaks on the southern coast. In 1974, Dr. George Van Brunt Cochran climbed an unnamed peak west of the Narsarsuk Glacier on the south coast. In 1977, a Canadian expedition led by Rob Kelly and four others, traversed the island from northwest to southeast. They climbed 20 peaks, including Pat Baird's unnamed peak on 27 July 1977. In June 1981, another Canadian expedition led by Jack DeBruyn with three other members of the Grant MacEwan Mountain Club from Edmonton, Alberta, traversed the island from northwest to south. They climbed 15 peaks, with 14 first ascents, and also Pat Baird's unnamed peak on 3 July 1981. In 1984, another Canadian expedition led by Mike Schmidt and others traversed the island from north to southeast, climbing 28 peaks, with 16 first ascents.

Mountains was by Pat Baird in 1939. He traversed Bylot Island from the Aktineq Glacier to Bathurst Bay on the east coast and returned down the Sermilik Glacier. On 7 June 1939 he climbed an unnamed, 6,000-foot mountain at coordinates 73° 06.7' N 78°
