Mount Newhall is a 1916feet summit in Alaska, United States.
Mount Newhall is a landmark of the Dutch Harbor area set 2.25miles east of Unalaska on Unalaska Island of the Aleutian Islands. Mount Newhall is part of the Aleutian Range.[2] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Iliuliuk Bay. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 1900abbr=offNaNabbr=off above tidewater in approximately 1.3miles. The mountain's toponym was a local name published in 1951 on an U.S. Geological Survey map and has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3] [4] Dr. Albert Warren Newhall (1872–1929) and his wife Agnes were early residents of Unalaska who managed the Jesse Lee Home in Unalaska in the late 1800s and early 1900s.[5] He was the local physician, dentist, and minister.
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Mount Newhall is located in a subpolar oceanic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[6] Winter temperatures can drop to 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
