Mount Eleanor is a mountain summit in the US state of Alaska.
Description
Mount Eleanor is located in the Chigmit Mountains of the
Aleutian Range.
[ The mountain is situated southwest of Anchorage, west of Homer, and six miles south of Lake Clark National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west to Iniskin Bay and east to Chinitna Bay, thence Cook Inlet. Although modest in elevation, topographic relief is significant as the summit rises up from tidewater at Iniskin Bay in two miles. The mountain's name was published in 1905 by G. C. Martin, U.S. Geological Survey, and the toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Eleanor is located in a subarctic climate zone, with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[ Denali FAQ, American Alpine Institute, alpineinstitute.com, Retrieved 2024-02-02.]
