Tokositna Glacier, Mount McKinley/Denali, Alaska Range, USA.

Over Tokositna Glacier, fly towards the huge mountain of Denali, in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA. See a vast wilderness of glaciers, icy peaks, and mile deep granite gorges in the Alaska Range. Denali (20,310 feet or 6191 meters, aka Mount McKinley) is the highest mountain peak in North America. Measured from base to peak, it is earth's tallest mountain on land. Mount McKinley is a granitic pluton uplifted by tectonic pressure while erosion has simultaneously stripped away the softer sedimentary rock above and around it.
