From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the mountain in Montana, see Ear Mountain (Montana).
Ear Mountain (Inupiaq: Iŋiġagik) is an isolated mountain located on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. The mountain, with an elevation of 2,329 feet (710 m) (GeoNames gives it elevation as 690 metres (2,260 ft)[1]), has a belt of Cretaceous tin "granites." Though the mountain is located in an area long known for its tin deposits, it was only in 1953 and 1954 during a survey by the US Bureau of Mines that tin deposits were confirmed to be on Ear Mountain.[2]
