Mount Abdallah is a 6,210-foot summit in the Alsek Ranges of the Saint Elias Mountains in southeast Alaska, within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. It is the highest point between Tarr Inlet and Rendu Inlet and rises sharply from tidewater in less than three miles, giving it unusual local relief despite its moderate elevation by Alaska standards. Glaciers lie on its east and north sides, and meltwater drains into the Glacier Bay Basin. American geophysicist Harry Fielding Reid named the mountain in 1892 during a Glacier Bay expedition to study glaciology, though the person honored by the name remains unidentified.
