Über dieses Bild:

Mount McKinley / Denali rises to 20,320 feet elevation (6194 m) along Denali National Park Road near Eielson Visitor Center, Alaska, USA. Denali is the highest mountain peak in North America, and measured from base to peak, it is earth's tallest mountain on land. Denali is only visible 1 out of 3 days. Rain falls as light showers or drizzle for half of summer days. The earliest shuttle bus doesn’t reach Denali views until mid morning. The least cloudy time is early morning, which suggests overnight tenting at Wonder Lake to best see the mountain. Mount McKinley is a granitic pluton uplifted by tectonic pressure while erosion has simultaneously stripped away the somewhat softer sedimentary rock above and around it. The native Athabaskan name "Denali" is correct according to most Alaskans and the Alaska Board of Geographic Names, while "Mount McKinley" is correct according to the United States Board on Geographic Names. Alaska’s attempts to change the name to Denali at the national level have been regularly blocked by Ohio congressmen protecting the honor of former president William McKinley who was born in Ohio.
