Nature
Mount Glenn is a glaciated 9,806-foot summit in the Chugach Mountains of southern Alaska, northwest of Valdez, on Chugach National Forest land north of Prince William Sound. Part of the Dora Keen Range, it forms part of the divide between Harvard Glacier and Yale Glacier, and its prominence comes largely from its setting among major glaciers and steep, icy terrain. Lawrence Martin applied the name in 1911, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names officially adopted it in 1930. The mountain honors Army officer Edwin Forbes Glenn, who explored the College Fjord area in 1898. Its subarctic climate brings severe winters, heavy precipitation, and conditions that sustain nearby glaciers.
