Storm over Denali
The curtain is about to fall.
A storm is building and soon a portion of Denali was covered.
Mt. Hunter on the left. The native name for the mountain is Begguya, meaning "Denali's Child". For perspective, they are 8 miles apart.
Denali is the third-tallest of the “Seven Summits” (the tallest peak on each continent), after Mount Everest in Asia and Mount Aconcagua in South America.
What truly sets Denali apart is its latitude which leads to some extreme weather. It rises just two hundred miles south of the Artic Circle and is the coldest and stormiest of the Seven Summits.
The other six are close enough to the equator to escape the extremes of cold, snow and wind which regularly impact Denali.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
