Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, located in Alaska, is named after the nearby Wrangell Mountains, which were in turn named for Baron Ferdinand von Wrangell, a Russian explorer and governor of Russian America in the 19th century. The park was established to protect the diverse ecosystems, glaciers, and mountain ranges in the area. The name reflects both the natural features of the region and its historical ties to exploration and Russian influence in Alaska.
