5:14 PM LOCAL TIMEMount Bona rises near the terminus of the Bering Glacier in Alaska and ranks among the tallest peaks in the Wrangell-St. Elias range. The mountain is characterized by broad ice slopes and significant glacier coverage, with primary routes accessed from the surrounding llans and valleys. Its summit ice cap and exposure make it a serious objective for high-level climbers — often approached from the nearby McCarthy or Sheep Mountain region. Weather can be severe and routes technical, requiring extensive glacier travel experience, high-altitude judgment, and proper gear. Nearby landmarks include Mount Cook and Mount St. Elias, placing Bona within a dramatic alpine landscape.
