The Fairweather Range is one of the tallest mountain ranges on the planet, and arguably the tallest coast range. Within only a few short miles of the Pacific Ocean, Mt. Fairweather rises nearly three miles vertically. This peak, which is most likely Lituya Mountain (11,924 ft), is Mt. Fairweather's neighbor to the south. The range is so massive that it can create its own weather. Here, in the late evening, a lenticular cloud forms at the summit, warning of high winds aloft. Photographer: Sean Neilson
