Much of the range is in the [[Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve]]. The Wrangell Mountains were made by [[volcano]]es. The second and third tallest volcanoes in the United States, Mount Blackburn and Mount Sanford are there. The range takes its name from Mount Wrangell, which is one of the largest [[shield volcano]]es in the world. It is also the only [[mountain]] in the range that is an [[active volcano]]. The Wrangell Mountains are just to the [[northwest]] of the [[Saint Elias Mountains]] and [[northeast]] of the [[Chugach Mountains]]. There are so many mountains there that they block the warm moist air over the [[Pacific Ocean]]. Because of this places north of the Wrangell Mountains are some of the coldest areas of [[North America]] during the winter. ==Major peaks== [[Image:Wrangells1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Mount Sanford]] [[Image:Wrangells_Mountains_Alaska.jpg|thumb|left|25
