At 20,320 ft, Denali (Alaska’s Mt. McKinley) is considered to be one of the most difficult climbs in the world. Characterized by dangerous avalanches, treacherous crevasses, steep slippery icy slopes and high altitude blizzards with gale force winds, it is not uncommon for temperatures in winter to plummet below minus 100 degrees. With an annual climbing success rate of only 30-40%, it remains one of the most dangerous and difficult climbs on Earth. It has more vertical rise from the base to the summit than Mount Everest.

Denali (The High One) is the Native (Athabascan) American word for North America’s highest peak, Mount McKinley in the mountain chain called the Alaska Range. Denali was renamed Mount McKinley for William McKinley, a nominee for president, by the Princeton graduate and gold prospector, William Dickey. Dickey was one of the hundreds of prospectors seeking gold in the 1896 Cook Inlet stampede. He had written an article for the New York Sun where he described the mountain as the highest in North America at over 20,000 feet. The first winter ascent was made by Dave Johnston, Ray Genet & Art Davidson; the title of their book says it all: ‘Minus 148°’. Read this before you even mention the words Winter and Denali in one sentence…

The landmark achievement, which opened Denali or Mount Mckinley to a larger group of climbers, was Bradford Washburn’s 1951 expedition, which reached the summit of Denali via the West Buttress. Washburn’s team, using a plane fitted with skis to access the Kahiltna Glacier, pioneered the most popular route on the mountain.

Denali National Park and Preserve has much more than Mount McKinley to offer visitors. Wildlife of Denali and dramatic scenery are its most dependable attractions. Visitors taking the shuttle bus ride from the park entrance to Wonder Lake will see a lot of both. They can count on seeing caribou, with a good likelihood of seeing grizzly bears — almost certainly in the distance, but perhaps from very close range — , moose and dall sheep. There’s plenty of other wildlife, too, including eagles and wolves.

These 10 Lovely Images of the Purple Sky are amazingly reflecting the beauty of the nature.

The Sunlight reaches the surface of the lovely planet after passing through many particles prevailing in the air. This way the light becomes scattered and makes the colors of the sky reddish and sometimes purple. During the day when the sunlight touches the earth in a perpendicular way, the blue waves from the spectrum penetrate the atmosphere with more frequency than any other waves, and that’s why the sky seems blue during that time. Similarly during Dawn or Dusk, when the sun is in a different angle to the earth, the red or purple waves from the spectrum are absorbed more than any others. Sometimes the sky also becomes red due to the particles of dust, water, pollution, or other things in the atmosphere that scatter red light.

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at places north of the Arctic circle and south of the Antarctic circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight.The midnight sun is visible at the Arctic circle from June 12 until July 1. The further north one goes the longer this period extends. This seasonal variation of daylight is worth seen in Norway as this country is located on a higher altitude in the Northern Europe.  In these summer months, the sun becomes shy to descend completely and so Norway is called as the land of Midnight Sun.

The half area of Norway, the land of Midnight sun in the the north is within the Arctic Circle (above 66.55 degrees north), where for six months sun never sets (remains above the horizon) and the rest of six months it remains below the horizon, never rising, hovering around in a slanted circle. During the six months day time, irrespective of our 24 hours body rhythm sun remains even when it is midnight as per our watches.
