Devil Mountain (Iñupiaq: Iġġiasaaq) is a small shield volcano in the U.S. state of Alaska, located 5miles south of the Devil Mountain Lakes and 53miles northwest of Deering. It has an elevation of 794feet or 797feet.[1] [2]
The mountain is part of the Espenberg volcanic field, a group of Pleistocene maars and shield volcanoes at the northern tip of the Seward Peninsula just south of the Arctic Circle.[2]
Devil Mountain was named Teufelsberg by Lieutenant Otto von Kotzebue in 1816, which means Devils Mountain in the German language.[1]
