Nature
Mount Hubley rises in the Romanzof Mountains of Alaska’s eastern Brooks Range within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, about 5 miles north of Mount Isto, its parent peak and the range’s highest summit. Named in 1958 for Dr. Richard Carleton Hubley, who died in 1957 while conducting research on nearby McCall Glacier during the International Geophysical Year, the mountain is closely tied to Arctic scientific exploration. Its place in the range was redefined in 2014, when improved measurements established it as the Brooks Range’s second highest peak and moved Mount Chamberlin to third.
