<span class="mw-page-title-main">Atna Peaks</span> Volcano in Alaska, United States

Atna Peaks is an eroded stratovolcano or shield volcano in the Wrangell Mountains of eastern Alaska. It is located in Wrangell–Saint Elias National Park about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Mount Blackburn, the second-highest volcano in the United States, and just south of the massive Nabesna Glacier. Because the mountain is almost entirely covered in glaciers, no geological studies have been done, but published references state and the geological map shows that the mountain is an old eroded volcanic edifice.

The Ahtna are an Alaska Native Athabaskan people of Alaska.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lake Atna</span> Prehistoric lake in Alaska

Lake Atna was a prehistoric proglacial lake that initially formed approximately 58 ka in the Copper River Basin, an area roughly centered around 245 km (152 mi) northeast of modern-day Anchorage, Alaska. The lake formed, and dispersed, during the Wisconsin glaciation. The lake existed in several forms, with several prominent shorelines observable in modern geology. At its greatest extent, the lake surface area was approximately half the size of modern-day Lake Ontario, and possibly much larger. The basin of the lake lay within an area bordered by the Alaska Range to the north, the Wrangell Mountains to the east, the Chugach Mountains to the south, and the Talkeetna Mountains to the west.

Atna Peak is a mountain in British Columbia, Canada, located 57 km (35 mi) northwest of Howson Peak and 18 km (11 mi) southeast of Morice Lake.
