Mount Hubbard

Mount Hubbard rises to 4,557 meters, forming a natural border between Kluane National Park in Canada and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska.

Israel Russell of the U.S. Geological Survey named the mountain in 1890 after Gardiner Greene Hubbard, the first president of National Geographic Society.

The mountain serves as a physical representation of cooperation between Canadian and American national park systems, preserving natural environments across borders.

Climbing expeditions to Mount Hubbard generally start from late spring through summer, with access routes available through both Yukon Territory and Alaska.

The eastern face of Mount Hubbard provides the only non-technical climbing route to reach its summit, despite the mountain's considerable elevation.
