Mount Hubbard

Mount Hubbard is a major Saint Elias Range peak on the Alaska-Yukon border, with one side in Kluane National Park and Reserve and the other in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park. Part of a high massif with Mount Alverstone and Mount Kennedy, it was named in 1890 by geologist Israel Russell for Gardiner Greene Hubbard, linking it to National Geographic–supported exploration. The mountain is notable for both its rank—eighth-highest in the United States and twelfth-highest in Canada—and its dramatic rise above surrounding glaciers and icefields. It also helps mark a key turn in the Canada-United States boundary and stands relatively near the sea despite its glaciated wilderness setting.
