Mount Augusta

Looking through 2017 again – realize I had never posted these of the south side of Mt Augusta, of which I do not find a single identified photo online.
Augusta is 4289 m (14,070 ft)
"In terms of pure elevation, Mount Augusta is not particularly notable, being one of the lowest fourteeners in the United States; it is therefore quite overshadowed by its huge neighbors Saint Elias and Logan. However, it is a huge peak in terms of local relief, since it lies so close to low terrain (and in fact close to tidewater)." – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Augusta

Mountain Profile: Mt. Hubbard, Mt. Alverstone and Mt. Kennedy –
"At first glance, author David Stevenson writes, parts of the St. Elias Range of Alaska can seem both "remote" and nearly "empty." But these expanses of mountains, ice, rock and snows are layered with stories of human journeys, from the landscape tales of Indigenous Tlingit people to the adventures of generations of famous climbers—including a first ascent by the senator Robert F. Kennedy, a few years before his assassination. And in the modern era, like many glaciated regions, the range has become one symbol of a growing climate crisis. For this Mountain Profile, Stevenson focuses on stories surrounding the region inside the 1968 Hubbard-Alverstone-Kennedy map directed by the great explorer Bradford Washburn. Anna Chiburis, Andrea Rankin, Jack Tackle and Barry Blanchard share moments from the vast history of this intense and haunting place."
