Mount Einstein is an 11,552-foot (3,521 m) elevation glaciated summit located 32 mi (51 km) northwest of Valdez in the Chugach Mountains of the U.S. state of Alaska. This remote mountain, sixth-highest in the Chugach range, is situated at the head of Yale Glacier on land managed by Chugach National Forest. The mountain was named in 1955 by members of the Chugach Mountains Expedition, and officially adopted by the United States Geological Survey to honor physicist Dr. Albert Einstein (1879–1955), considered one of the greatest scientists of all time, known for his Theory of relativity. The first ascent of Mt. Einstein was made June 17, 1957, by David Bohn, Arthur Maki Jr., Don Mokski, Martin Mushkin, and Lawrence E. Nielsen.
