Atna Peaks

Atna Peaks is a glacier-covered mountain in Alaska’s Wrangell Mountains, within Wrangell–Saint Elias National Park. An old, heavily eroded volcanic mass, it has been identified as either a stratovolcano or shield volcano, though its ice cover has prevented direct geological study. Its main summit reaches 13,860 feet, with nearby high summits including a secondary peak above 13,600 feet and Parka Peak at 13,280 feet. Their steep south faces help form the cirque of the Kennicott Glacier, which flows southeast toward the country above McCarthy. The name was given in 1965 by a first-ascent party, using an older Indigenous name for the Copper River.
