Peters Dome, Mountain summit in Denali National Park, United States.
Peters Dome is a mountain summit in the central Alaska Range reaching about 10,500 feet. The terrain features steep slopes and multiple glacial formations across its landscape.
The peak was officially mapped and documented by the United States Geological Survey in 1954. This recognition established it as a significant geographical feature in the Denali area.
The mountain territories hold importance for indigenous populations who have lived and hunted in the Alaska Range for generations.
The climb requires winter mountaineering gear and a permit from Denali National Park authorities. Visitors should prepare for harsh conditions and significant elevation gain.
Peters Basin below the summit feeds Peters Glacier, whose ice formations descend roughly 3,000 feet. This glacial connection links the summit directly to the frozen landscape below.
