Mount Case

Mount Case is a 5,545-foot peak in southeast Alaska's Saint Elias Mountains, within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Though modest in elevation by Alaska standards, it is striking for rising from tidewater in less than three miles, making it appear far more imposing and giving it the seventy-third-greatest prominence among Alaska peaks. It is the highest point between Adams Inlet and White Glacier and can be seen from Glacier Bay in clear weather. American geophysicist Harry Fielding Reid named it in 1890 while conducting glaciological studies, honoring the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland. Its subarctic climate helps sustain White Glacier below its southern slopes.
