Devils Prongs is a Шаблон:Convert mountain in Alaska.
Description
Devils Prongs is located Шаблон:Convert northwest of Kodiak at the head of Monaska Bay on the northeast coast of Kodiak Island.[1] Precipitation runoff from the three peaks of the mountain drains north into Virginia Creek and south into Pillar Creek before each empty into Monaska Bay. Topographic relief is significant as the mountain rises over Шаблон:Convert above tidewater of Monaska Bay in approximately Шаблон:Convert. The mountain's name was applied in 1869 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and the toponym was officially adopted in 1966 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[1] Russian naval officers in 1808 gave this landform the descriptive name Gory Chyernysheva, meaning "Black Mountains."[2]
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Devils Prongs is located in a subpolar oceanic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[3] Weather systems coming off the North Pacific are forced upwards by the mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop to 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
