Mount Eielson
Mount Eielson is a summit located in the Alaska Range, in Denali National Park and Preserve, in Alaska, United States. It is situated immediately east of the Muldrow Glacier terminus, south of Eielson Visitor Center, and north of Red Mountain, its nearest higher neighbor. Originally called Copper Mountain, this mountain was renamed by the U.S. Congress on June 14, 1930, to honor Carl Ben Eielson (1897–1929), for the pioneering work in aviation he performed in Alaska. Ben Eielson made the first airplane landing near Copper Mountain in Mount McKinley National Park, as it was known at that time.
