About Denali, Alaska

Denali ( dÉ™-NAH-lee; Koyukon: Deenaalee), federally designated as Mount McKinley, is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190 m) above sea level. Its vertical relief above the surrounding plateaus is one of the greatest on Earth, measuring about 18,000 feet (5,500 meters). With a topographic prominence of 20,156 feet (6,144 m) and a topographic isolation of 4,621.1 miles (7,436.9 km), Denali is the third most prominent and third-most isolated peak on Earth, after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of the U.S. state of Alaska, Denali is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve. The Koyukon people who inhabit the area around the mountain have referred to the peak as "Denali" for centuries.

Questions about Denali, Alaska

Where is Denali?

Denali is in Alaska, USA at 63.0692, -151.0070. The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square around that point.

How high is the terrain in the Denali model?

The land in this model runs from 205 to 6,061 m (5,856 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.

Can I 3D print Denali?

Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 22.6 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:333,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.

How accurate is the Denali model?

It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans at 1 to 10 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.

Is the Denali model free?

The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.

What is a Denali terrain model good for?

People use it as a memento of a climb, a gift for a mountaineer or a ski-trip souvenir.

About this terrain model

Embossify Terra builds Denali, Alaska from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.

The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square centered on 63.0692, -151.0070. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:333,300. The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
