The Alaska Range got its name from the Aleut word "alaxsxaq," meaning "great land," which was adopted by European explorers. The name reflects the indigenous peoples' connection to the region. The range was officially named by the U.S. government in the 19th century as it became a focus for exploration and mapping. It is now known for its stunning peaks, including Denali, the highest mountain in North America.
