Nature
Mount Wordie is a prominent peak in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in southeast Alaska, rising more than 4,700 feet in the Alsek Ranges of the Saint Elias Mountains. Though moderate in elevation, it is notable for climbing from tidewater in less than two miles, creating dramatic local relief. Water from its slopes drains into the Glacier Bay Basin, and the mountain is visible in clear weather from parts of Glacier Bay frequently visited by cruise ships. Named in 1941 for Scottish polar explorer and glacier geologist James Mann Wordie, it reflects both the region’s rugged landscape and its history of exploration.
