Description
The Alaska Range is a relatively narrow, 650-km-long (400 mi) mountain range in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Alaska, from Lake Clark at its southwest end to the White River in Canada's Yukon Territory in the southeast.
The highest mountain in North America, Denali, is in the Alaska Range.
The range forms a generally east-west arc with its northernmost part in the center, and from there trending southwest towards the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutians, and trending southeast into the Pacific Coast Ranges. The mountains act as a high barrier to the flow of moist air from the Gulf of Alaska northwards, and thus has some of the harshest weather in the world. The heavy snowfall also contributes to a number of large glaciers.
Major Peaks are:
Denali (6,190.5 m/20,310 ft)
Mount Foraker (5,304 m/17,400 ft)
Mount Hunter (4,442 m/14,573 ft)
Mount Hayes (4,216 m/13,832 ft)
Mount Silverthrone (4,029 m/13,218 ft)
Mount Deborah (3,761 m/12,339 ft)
Mount Huntington (3,730 m/12,240 ft)
Mount Brooks (3,624 m/11,890 ft)
Mount Russell (3,557 m/11,670 ft)
