Weather station on Kahiltna Glacier
Detailed Description
USGS scientist Louis Sass assesses an on-glacier weather station on the Kahiltna Glacier in Denali National Park, Alaska. This weather station is located at Kahiltna Base Camp, where climbers attempting to summit Denali begin their ascent. Sultana (Mt. Foraker) is visible in the background. USGS, in collaboration with the National Park Service, installed a new weather station on the flanks of this peak at an elevation 7800 ft in summer 2024.
