Igloo Mountain

Igloo Mountain is a 4,800-foot summit in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, rising on the west side of Igloo Creek near Park Road. Although modest by Alaska Range standards, it stands out for its steep local relief, climbing about 1,800 feet above Igloo Creek in just one mile. Its runoff flows west to Big Creek and east to Igloo Creek, both feeding the Teklanika River. The mountain was named for nearby Igloo Creek; that name was published by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954 and later officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. It lies in a tundra climate with severe winters and mild summers.
