Mount_Tom_White
Mount Tom White is a prominent 11,191-foot (3,411 meter) glaciated mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The remote peak is situated on land managed by Chugach National Forest, 72 mi (116 km) northeast of Cordova, and 20 mi (32 km) north of the Bering Glacier, North America's largest glacier. The mountain lies within the Copper River drainage basin, and is the eighth-highest major peak in the Chugach Mountains.[1] Topographic relief is significant as it ranks 17th in prominence for all peaks in Alaska, and 52nd for all North America peaks.[1][3] The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1973 by Story Clark, Chris Hall, Tom Kizzia, William Resor, Sarah Robey, and Don White.[3]
