Mount Carlisle

Mount Carlisle rises 5,283 feet above sea level, forming a symmetrical cone shape with snow-covered upper slopes on Carlisle Island in Alaska.

The United States Navy Hydrography Office named the volcano in 1894 to honor John G. Carlisle, who served as Secretary of the Treasury.

The Aleutian Islands, where Mount Carlisle stands, represent territories with deep connections to indigenous Alaskan communities and their traditional knowledge.

The volcano remains unmonitored by the Alaska Volcano Observatory, requiring visitors to exercise additional caution when approaching the remote location.

A small glacier persists on the western slopes below the summit crater rim, despite the mountain's location at a relatively low latitude.
