Mount Wordie

Mount Wordie is a 4,700+ foot (1,433+ meter) mountain summit located in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, in the Alsek Ranges of the Saint Elias Mountains, in southeast Alaska.

[1] Although modest in elevation, relief is significant as the mountain rises up from tidewater in less than two miles.

Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Glacier Bay Basin.

The mountain was named by members of a 1941 Glacier Bay expedition for James Mann Wordie (1889-1962), a Scottish polar explorer, glacier geologist, and President of the Royal Geological Society from 1951 through 1954.

The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing the peak.
