North America's tallest peak is getting a new name.
President Obama will announce Monday that his administration is officially redesignating Alaska's Mt. McKinley as Denali, the original name for the 20,237-foot-high mountain given by the area's Alaskan native population.
The announcement will come as the president begins a three-day visit to Alaska focused on the issue of climate change, one of Obama's chief policy focuses entering his final months in office.
During the trip the president will view the effects of climate change firsthand during a hike at the Exit Glacier of Kenai Fjords National Park near Seward, and a ride aboard a Coast Guard cutter.
