Mount Adagdak, Stratovolcano on Adak Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, United States.

Mount Adagdak rises to 641 meters above sea level on the northernmost extremity of Adak Island, approximately 1,900 kilometers from Anchorage.

The United States Geological Survey officially designated the name Mount Adagdak in 1948, deriving it from the nearby Cape Adagdak.

The volcanic formation represents a significant geological landmark in the Aleutian Range, ranking as the 71st most prominent peak among 297 mountains.

Scientists access the mountain to study its three distinct periods of volcanic activity, with the youngest rocks dated between 205,000 and 215,000 years old.

The western slope of Mount Adagdak has been identified as a potential location for a light-gas gun to launch small payloads to the International Space Station.
