Mount Michelson is a high peak in the Romanzof Mountains, part of the Brooks Range of northern Alaska in the United States. It is located about 15 miles (24 km) north of the highest peak in the range, Mount Isto.[3]
The mountain was named by E. de K. Leffingwell, between 1906 and 1914, for Professor Albert Abraham Michelson, an American scientist.[1]
