Regal Mountain

Regal Mountain is a heavily glaciated volcanic peak in the Wrangell Mountains of eastern Alaska within Wrangell–Saint Elias National Park. Identified in geological references as an eroded stratovolcano or shield volcano, it has not been studied directly on the ground because glaciers cover nearly all of it, so its volcanic character is known mainly through mapping and regional interpretation. It is the third highest thirteener in Alaska. Its steep, worn flanks feed several major glaciers, including the Rohn, Regal, and Root Glaciers, as well as a large unnamed glacier flowing to the Nabesna. The mountain stands as a strong example of overlapping volcanism and glaciation in the Wrangell range.
