The story
Mount Bendeleben (Iñupiaq: Aniyaayuq) is the highest peak in the Bendeleben Mountains of the Seward Peninsula in Nome Census Area, Alaska, United States. It is located on the western end of the range, 37 mi (60 km) southwest of Imuruk Lake. The mountain was named in 1866 by members of the Western Union Telegraph exploring expedition for the leader of the expedition, Baron Otto von Bendeleben. A. H. Brooks, USGS, reported in 1921 the native name as "Ahneyiyuk," meaning "looks like a big one." On a clear day, Bendeleben dominates the landscape, overshadowing all the other mountains in its region. While it may not be the tallest peak on the peninsula, it is undoubtedly the most renowned.
