| Alaska, the fabulous world... Alaska is still synonymous of adventures land and a great appointment for men who want to push their limits. Sign of new times, the McKinley finds his original name, Denali, meaning "high mountain" in Indian language. Located in the park of the same name, Denali range is part of the taiga, from 200 to 6000 m altitude, forming a gigantic wall of rock and ice, glaciers spreading over 70 km long. Its granite base supports a layer of basaltic rocks which, mixed with ice, trace a series of frescoes natural to top. |
