Eickelberg Peak is a Шаблон:Convert summit in Alaska, United States.

Description

Eickelberg Peak is an Aleutian Range stratovolcano located along the west rim of Fisher Caldera on Unimak Island of the Aleutian Islands.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into the caldera and from the other slopes into tributaries of the Pogromni River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately Шаблон:Convert above a caldera lake in less than Шаблон:Convert. The nearest community is False Pass, Шаблон:Convert to the east-northeast.[2] The mountain was named after Lieutenant Commander Ernest Werner Eickelberg (1890–1941), who was involved in triangulation and topography with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in Alaska.[3] The mountain's toponym was published on a 1951 map by the United States Geological Survey and has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[4][5]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Eickelberg Peak is located in a subpolar oceanic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[6] 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.
