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. The mountain is situated northwest of Juneau, south of Carroll Glacier, and north of Mount Merriam which is the nearest higher peak. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant as the mountain rises up from tidewater in less than two miles. 
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. Wordie visited nearby Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay in 1913. Weather permitting, Mount Wordie can be seen from Queen Inlet and Wachusett Inlet of Glacier Bay, which is a popular destination for cruise ships. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing the peak.
