Mount Eagle (Irish: Sliabh an Iolair, meaning "eagle mountain")[2] [3] is a mountain in County Kerry, Ireland.
Geography
The mountain is part of Dingle peninsula and is the 419th highest in Ireland.[1] Mount Eagle is located not faraway from Slea Head (Ceann Sléibhe), the most south-westerly point of the peninsula, and is connected with mount Brandon by a ridge of lower hills.[4] On the mountain's top stands a trig point.[5]
History
The mountain summit was the first Europen bit of land seen by Charles Lindbergh after its 1927 plane voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.[6]
Access to the summit
Mount Eagle summit can be reached with a medium walk from Ventry Harbour.[1] From the top of the mountain there is a good view of the neighbouring coast and the Blasket Islands.[5]
