Denali or formerly Mount McKinley is North America's tallest mountain. It is located in South Alaska and its summit is 6,190 m above sea level. The topographic prominence of a mountain means the difference in elevation of the lowest point on a contour encircling the mountain (but not containing a higher peak within it) and it's summit. Denali is the third most prominent mountain in the world after Mount Everest and Aconcagua (the tallest peak in South America).
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest in my continent.

I can’t believe I actually knew this! I forgot when I learned it though...despite the amazing mountain Alaska hasn’t been high on my list for places to visit.

Holy cow that looks awesome! Music makes it that much more epic too. I'd be terrified to do that though.

I share with you this photo that I took today with my cell phone, from my car.
A contrast to the cold you should do on that mountain.
I hope you like it, regards
