Eickelberg Peak is a 3,648-foot stratovolcano on Unimak Island in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, forming part of the Aleutian Range along the west rim of Fisher Caldera. Its sharply rising summit climbs about 3,050 feet above a caldera lake in less than a mile. Runoff from its east slope drains into the caldera, while its other sides feed tributaries of the Pogromni River. The mountain stands in a subpolar oceanic climate shaped by North Pacific storms, bringing heavy precipitation, snowy winters, cool summers, and severe wind chill. It was named for Lieutenant Commander Ernest Werner Eickelberg, an Alaska surveyor, and appeared on a 1951 U.S. Geological Survey map before official adoption.
