Mount McKinley, also called
Denali, highest peak in
North America. It is located near the centre of the
Alaska Range, with two summits rising above the Denali Fault in south-central
Alaska,
U.S. Its official elevation figure of 20,320 feet (6,194 metres) was
established in the early 1950s. Subsequent attempts to measure the
mountain’s height have yielded different values. One such survey,
conducted in 2010 using advanced radar technology, was made public in
September 2013 and gave McKinley’s elevation as 20,237 feet (6,168
metres). However, that measurement remained unofficial.
