Mount Denison : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mount Denison
Mount Denison is a stratovolcano and one of the highest peaks on the Alaska Peninsula. Discovered in 1923 by Harvard professor Kirtley Fletcher Mather, the mountain was named for the geologist's alma mater, Denison University.〔(Denisonians Plan Expedition to Mt. Denison ), page 2〕 The mountain's connection to Denison also include its first climbers: all members of the first two ascent teams as well as the group that attempted in 1977 were either students, alumni, or faculty of the University. Mount Denison is located at the end of a volcanic chain in a heavily glaciated and very remote section〔(Global Volcanism Program )〕 of Katmai National Park. It is possibly the tallest mountain in the national park, though some sources list Mount Griggs as the highest.〔(Mount Griggs highest in Katmai )〕〔(Mount Denison highest in Katmai )〕 Mount Griggs, on the other hand, is much more accessible, being next to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, which can be reached via the road from the national park's visitor center. ==See also==
