Nature
Mount Tlingit is a glaciated summit in southeastern Alaska within Glacier Bay National Park, rising in the Fairweather Range of the Saint Elias Mountains near the Canada–United States border. Among the park’s higher peaks, it ranks sixth there and seventy-sixth in Alaska. Its subarctic climate of cold, snowy winters and cool summers helps sustain nearby icefields and glaciers, including Margerie Glacier and Fairweather Glacier. Meltwater and runoff flow toward Glacier Bay Basin and the Gulf of Alaska, linking the mountain to the broader glacial landscape of the park. Although the name is used, it has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
