Nature
Mount Shouplina is an 8,531-foot peak in the Chugach Mountains of southern Alaska, north-northwest of Valdez, in a remote glaciated part of Chugach National Forest. Water from its slopes flows south to Prince William Sound and north through Tazlina Lake, the Tazlina River, and the Copper River, linking it to two major drainages. Named in 1959 and officially adopted in 1965, its name combines Shoup Glacier and Tazlina Glacier on its south and north slopes. Its steep relief above the East Branch Columbia Glacier and its subarctic climate help sustain nearby icefields and glaciers. The first ascent came in 1985.
