History

The name of the mountain was adopted on the National Topographic System map 92M on March 28, 1967. It is named after Nicholas Somolenko, a World War II aircraftman of the Royal Canadian Air Force who was killed when his aircraft was shot down over Europe on June 7, 1944.
Somolenko was from New Westminster and was survived by his parents John and Ephresinia Somolenko at the time of his death. Somolenko's name is inscribed on the Air Forces Memorial in Surrey, United Kingdom, and like many others inscribed on this memorial, he has no known grave.
