Mount Saint Elias is the second highest mountain in both the United States and Canada, being situated on the Alaska and Yukon border. According to H. W. Topham, in 1888, its Tlingit Indian name was "Yahtse-tah-shah." The mountain was first sighted on July 16, 1741 by Vitus Bering of Russia. While some historians contend that the mountain was named by Bering, others believe that eighteenth century mapmakers named it after Cape Saint Elias, when it was left unnamed by Bering. Mt. St. Elias was first climbed on July 31, 1897 by Duke of the Abruzzi, Vittorio Sella and party.
