Serpentine River (Alaska)
Serpentine River is a waterway on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It debouches at Shishmaref Inlet from the southeast. It was explored and named in 1900 by the prospector Charles McLennan.
==Geography==
Heading near Midnight Mountain, about from Shishmaref Inlet, it flows into that inlet by a very sinuous course, from which character it receives its name. The bed rock of the Serpentine River Basin above the coastal gravel belt consists of dark graphitic and feldspathic mica-schists, which form Midnight Mountain, and of crystalline limestones and mica-schists of the Kugruk group. The relations of the dark schists to the limestones were not determined, though they are regarded as belonging to the Kugruk series. In the vicinity of the hot springs these dark schists have been intruded by extensive granite masses, forming a large area of granite. This granite outcrops in needles and pinnacles, produced by weathering along a double set of joints.〔
