Mount Newhall

Nature
Mount Newhall is a 1,916-foot summit on Unalaska Island in the Aleutians, just east of the town of Unalaska near Dutch Harbor. Part of the Aleutian Range, it is a striking local landmark because it rises more than 1,900 feet above tidewater in only about 1.3 miles, with runoff flowing into Iliuliuk Bay. The mountain’s subpolar oceanic climate brings cold, snowy winters and cool summers. Its name, appearing on a U.S. Geological Survey map in 1951 and later officially adopted, honors Dr. Albert Warren Newhall and his wife Agnes, early Unalaska residents who managed the Jesse Lee Home while he also served the community in several professional and religious roles.
