Mount Gilbert, Stratovolcano on Akun Island, Alaska, US
Mount Gilbert stands at an elevation of 2,684 feet on the northern section of Akun Island, featuring steep slopes and eroded northern flanks.
The volcano's first documentation in the 1947 Coast Pilot potentially commemorates John J. Gilbert, commander of the steamer Pathfinder from 1900 to 1901.
The mountain's geological formations and altered rock zones demonstrate the volcanic heritage of the Aleutian Islands native communities.
Access to Mount Gilbert requires air or water transportation, as the location sits 751 miles from Anchorage with Akutan being the nearest settlement.
A 20,000 square meter zone of altered rock exists 1.5 kilometers northeast of the summit, marking past sulfur mining attempts in the 1920s.
