Mount Jarvis

Mount Jarvis is an eroded shield volcano and stratovolcano in the Wrangell Mountains of eastern Alaska.

It is located in Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park about 10 miles (16 km) east of the summit of Mount Wrangell.

The mountain sits at the northeastern edge of the massive ice-covered shield of Wrangell, rising nearly 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above it in a spectacular series of cliffs and icefalls.

When seen from above, Mount Jarvis is distinctly dumbbell-shaped, with two prominent peaks connected by a narrower ridge.

Mount Jarvis was named in 1903 by F. C. Schrader, a USGS geologist, for Lt. David H. Jarvis of the U. S. Revenue Cutter Service,[2] who led the Overland Relief Expedition to aid a whaling fleet trapped in Arctic Ocean ice off Point Barrow in 1897–98.
