Addressing tiu* Alaskan Society ol !
Pori.unu recently. Professor Hersheli
t ‘arker outlined his famous trip to the
up of Mount McKinley in 1912, at
vhicr* time the lake ascent and pho
o* nrphs oi Ur. Cook were exposed.
Professor Parker made the remark
ble statement that Mount McKinley
i not the highest peak in Alaska.
Speaking to Ins interested audience,
ihofescor Parker >aid his party in
.912 recorded an autitude of 19,500
ct t when overtaken by a storm, to
other with heavy wind. The paity
! then struggled making an altitude of
over 20,000 feet. However , no instru
ment record was made of this height.
It averaged 10 degrees below zero dur
ing the latter part of the trip, and
neing short of nourishment, the paity
suffered some hardships. It was dis
closed from a scientific standpoint
that Mount St. Elias has been gaining
i ir height during the past century,
while Mount McKinley has shrunk by
reason of earthquake disturbances. He
now firmly believes Mount McKinley
to he less than 20.000 feet in height
