Mountain of Glass

The Mountain of Glass, so named for its dangerously-jagged slopes, is one of the steepest mountains in North America. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of US state of Alaska, Glass Mountain is the centerpiece of Glass Mountain National Park and Preserve. Widely regarded as one of the most hazardous mountains in the world, it is popular with daredevil mountaineers and thrill-seekers, and therefore has one of the highest death rates for hikers next to Mount Everest.
