Igloo Mountain is a 4800feet summit in Alaska, United States.
Igloo Mountain is located in the Alaska Range in Denali National Park and Preserve. It is situated 4.93miles west of Double Mountain along the west side of Igloo Creek at mile 35 of the Park Road.[2] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into Big Creek and east into Igloo Creek, which are both tributaries of the Teklanika River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1800abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Igloo Creek in one mile (1.6 km). This mountain was named in association with Igloo Creek; the name was published in 1954 by the U.S. Geological Survey; and the toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[4]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Igloo Mountain is located in a tundra climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[5] Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °F with wind chill factors below −30 °F. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing.[6]
