Mount Ansel Adams is a peak in the Sierra Nevada of California. The summit is in Yosemite National Park near the park's eastern boundary. It lies 0.8 miles (1.3 km) northeast of Foerster Peak and 1.3 miles (2.1 km) west-southwest of Electra Peak[2] at the head of the Lyell Fork of the Merced River. It was named in 1985 for Ansel Adams, the preeminent landscape photographer, conservationist,[2] and member of the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club, a role he maintained for 37 years.[4]
