	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Mount Sanford
		Mount Sanford is a shield volcano which lies in eastern Alaska near the Copper River and is one of the tallest volcanoes in North America.
		It is mainly composed of andesite, and is an ancient peak, being mostly of Pleistocene age, although some of the upper parts of the mountain may be of Holocene age.
		The south face of the volcano, at the head of the Sanford Glacier, rises 8,000 ft in one mile (2,400 m in 1,600 m) resulting in one of the steepest gradients in North America.

	INTRODUCTION
		Mount Sanford is a poorly-known, dissected shield volcano and the highest volcano in the Wrangell volcanic field.
		Given the clear weather conditions at the time, the transience of the plume, and the history of large gravity slides at Mount Sanford, it was concluded that the observation was probably related to a large avalanche.

		The conspicuous high glaciated conical summit to the southwest is Mount Sanford, the fifth highest mountain in the United States with an elevation of 16,237', a strato-volcano (or composite cone).
		Mount Wrangell is the more distant, rounded and glacial covered dome southeast of Mount Sanford, with its summit of 14,163', the largest andesite shield volcano in North America; the park's only active volcano, occasional steam plumes.
		North of Mount Sanford and nearer to the road is the jagged prominence of Capital Mountain 7,731', an eroded shield volcano, like Tanada Peak 9,240' (the jagged dark colored ridge north and east of Mt. Wrangell), formed between one and two million years ago and eroded only during the last million years.

	Alaska Peaks with 5,000 or more feet of Prominence
		The indicated prominence of Mount Fairweather is based upon a minimum key saddle elevation of 2,312 feet and a maximum of 2,400 feet since at least one saddle must be no higher than the latter.
		The Mount Hubbard key saddle is 2,080-2,120 m (6,824-6,955 ft) in Canada at (60 39 57 N, 139 18 24 W) on a saddle walk north to both Mount Lucania and Mount Vancouver as potential prominence parents.
		Thereby the prominence parent of Mount Wrangell is ambiguous as either Mount Blackburn or Mount Sanford.

	Canadian Mountain Holidays \| Heli-Mountaineering - Adamants
		The Adamants are part of Selkirks, which are part of the Columbia Range, which is a familial range of the Canadian Rockies, which are part of the great arc of ranges that begins in the Antarctic and ends in Alaska (or vice versa, depending on your point of view).
		This beautifully rugged region is crowned by 11, 553-foot Mount Sir Sanford, a peak of Denali-like majesty, named for Sir Sanford Fleming, a pioneering official of "Canada's National Dream," the transcontinental railroad.
		The redoubtable Sir Sanford designed the "Three-Penny Beaver," Canada's first adhesive postage stamp in 1851, and also devised the system of set time zones, which was adopted in 1884, and which predates Adamant Lodge by 106 years.

		David Sanford credits a variety of influences with igniting his musicianship.
		Charles Mingus inspired me to be a composer later on." Sanford was also influenced by rhythm and blues/funk groups like Parliament, the Isley Brothers, and Sly and the Family Stone and, later, by orchestral and more mainstream popular music.
		One of the referees for his work wrote: "David Sanford is the real thing, a composer in the American tradition of brash, open-eared exploration: no material is too exalted or too debased for him to transform into his living art."

		In the Wrangells of southeast Alaska, Mount Sanford’s volcanic cone rises 16,237 feet [4,949 meters]—presenting a serious challenge for experienced climbers primed to bag their next big peak.
		Sanford should be attempted only by those who have climbed at least a 16,000-foot [4,877-meter] mountain without guides; made a 5- to 14-day winter expedition; and taken recent crevasse-rescue courses.
		A cordalette (a 15-foot [4.6-meter] section of seven-millimeter rope) is handy for rigging sleds and to assist with ascending crevasses.
