Mount Blackburn, Shield volcano in Wrangell Mountains, Alaska.
Mount Blackburn rises to 16,391 feet with steep slopes covered in glaciers, including the Kennicott Glacier extending over 20 miles to McCarthy.
Senator Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn received recognition when Lieutenant Henry Allen named this mountain after him in 1885.
The Ahtna people refer to this mountain as K'ats'i Tl'aadi, maintaining their connection to this natural formation through generations.
Climbers access the standard route via Nabesna Glacier on the north side, requiring advanced mountaineering skills and proper cold weather equipment.
