Mount Eleanor, Mountain summit in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Description
Mount Eleanor is a mountain summit on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska that rises steeply from sea level near Iniskin Bay. The peak sits in a remote area surrounded by dense forest and glaciers.
History
The geologist G.C. Martin with the U.S. Geological Survey officially documented the mountain in 1905 and brought it into geographic records. This discovery helped map this remote Alaska region.
Culture
The mountain stands within the traditional territories of Alaska Native peoples who navigated these lands for generations before modern documentation.
Practical
The mountain receives heavy snow during winter months, making May through June the best time for climbing attempts. Visitors should expect challenging conditions and remote access routes.
Did you know?
Water from the mountain drains in two directions: some flows east toward Chinitna Bay and some flows west toward Iniskin Bay. This double drainage makes the peak's watershed geographically noteworthy.
