Nature
Ch'akajabena Mountain is a 7,530-foot peak in Alaska's Neacola Mountains, the northernmost part of the Aleutian Range, about 85 miles west of Anchorage near Ch'akajabena Lake. Runoff from the mountain, including glacial meltwater, reaches Cook Inlet through the Chakachatna River. The mountain is the seventh-highest in the Neacola Mountains and is distinguished by very steep local relief, with its summit rising more than 3,500 feet above a glacier in the north cirque in just half a mile. Surrounded by three unnamed glaciers, it lies in a harsh tundra climate, and its officially adopted 2005 name preserves a Denaʼina place-name tied to the nearby lake.
