But the mountain had been called Denali, a local Athabascan name, for centuries. Denali plays a big part of the tribe's creation story. The federal government has called the peak Mount McKinley since 1987, even though Alaska has called it Denali since 1975. The surrounding park has been called Denali National Park since 1980. This name change recognizes the sacred status of Denali to many Alaska Natives, Jewell said in a statement.
The Pacific Plate is seismically active beneath Denali, a tectonic region that is known as the McKinley cluster. Denali has a summit elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190.5 m) above sea level, making it the highest peak in North America and the northernmost mountain above 6,000 meters elevation in the world.Measured from base to peak at some 18,000 ft (5,500 m), it is also the largest of any mountain entirely above sea level.he first verifiable ascent to Denali's summit was achieved on June 7, 1913, by climbers Hudson Stuck, Harry Karstens, Walter Harper, and Robert Tatum, who went by the South Summit.
