Addressing the Alaskan Society of
t Portland recently, Professor Herschell
Parker outlined his famous trip to the
top of Mount McKinley in 1912, at
which time the fake ascent and pho
tographs of Dr. Cook were exposed.
Professor Parker made the remark
able statement that Mount McKinley
4, is not the highest peak in'Alaska.
* Speaking to his interested audience,
Professor Parker said his «party in
1912 recorded an altitude of 19,500 feet
when overtaken by a storm, together
with heavy wind. The party then
struggled upward for three hours, pre
sumably making an altitude of over
20,000 feet. However, no instrument
record was made of this height. It
averaged 10 degrees below zero dur
ing the latter part of the trip, and
baing short of nourishment, the party
suffered some hardships. It was dis
closed from a scientific standpoint that
Mount St. Elias has been gaining in
height during the past century, while
Mount McKinley has shrunk by reason,
of earthquake disturbances. He now
firmly believes Mount McKinley to be
less than 20,000 feet in height and
Mount St. Elias to be over that height.
The Alaskan Society at Portland
^meets monthly. Its meetings are well
attended, and there are many former
Northerners attending, who thoroughly
enjoy the gatherings.
