So where is it, and why is it significant?

Highest peak in North America--Denali (or Mt McKinley).
To: cogitator
Looks to jagged to be Denali, I suggest that it’s Mt. Fairweather, the highest point in B.C. and straddles the boundary between the U.S. and Canada.

Too far south and no glacier that far south - I say Mt. Wrangel in Alaska.

It’s a mountain.
Where is it?
On the outside of the earth. (And I know that because if it were inside the earth, the mountain would be a meltain, and the glaceir would be much smaller ...) 8<)
Why is it significant?
It’s pretty.
