Meteorite Mountain
Meteorite Mountain is a prominent glaciated mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is situated southeast of Valdez, south of Hogback Ridge, and southeast of Mount Francis. In January 1927, a meteorite hit this mountain, which is how the mountain got its name. The mountain's name was in local use when it was first published in 1953 by U.S. Geological Survey. Precipitation runoff and meltwater from the mountain's glaciers drains into tributaries of the Lowe River, which in turn empties to Prince William Sound.
