You Say Denali

Mount McKinley, as of today, is now Denali. It’s an important change, one that honors local indigenous names and draws attention to the very real threat of climate change impacting that part of the world, so we’re glad to see President Obama stepping up to the challenge and calling attention to Alaska as a kind of climate change ground zero.

I’m proud to announce that our own Alan McConchie gets the bragging rights for having made the change on OpenStreetMap.
