North America: Denali

North America: DenaliDenali (also called Mount McKinley), in the center of the Alaska Range in south-central Alaska, is the highest peak in North America. It rises abruptly to some 18,000 feet (5,500 meters) from the Denali Fault at its base to the higher, more southerly of its two summits. Denali’s official elevation figure was 20,320 feet (6,194 meters) from the early 1950s until 2015, when it was reestablished to be 20,310 feet (6,190 meters) by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) after thorough remeasurement using state-of-the-art equipment. In 1910 two prospectors of what was dubbed the “Sourdough Expedition” were the first climbers to conquer the North Peak. Hudson Stuck and Harry Karstens led a party to the South Peak, the true summit, on June 7, 1913. Nowadays, hundreds of climbers attempt to reach the summit each year.

In January 2001 a team of scientists using advanced GPS (global positioning system) technology reported an elevation of 22,840 feet (6,962 meters), plus or minus 16 feet (5 meters), but neither Argentina’s government nor the National Geographic Society recognizes this figure; the 22,831 feet (6,959 meters) height established by the Military Geographical Institute of Argentina remains the generally accepted figure. Mount Aconcagua has two summits—north and south—connected by a ridge. The southern summit has been measured at 22,736 feet (6,930 meters). The higher northern summit was first reached in 1897 by Swiss climber Matthias.
