Fig. 1The massif over painted foothills
Landform
The highest peak in North America, rising 18,000 feet from its own base. Tundra forelands, braided rivers, and a vast ice-clad massif.
Field note
Denali is often hidden. On a clear day the massif stands above colored foothills and the McKinley River bars. The vertical relief from base to summit is among the greatest on Earth.
