First, Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley, got a new name. Then it got a haircut. New measurements show Denali officially stands at 20,310 feet, the United States Geological Survey announced on Wednesday. That is 10 feet shorter than the previously accepted elevation of 20,320 feet. No, the highest peak in North America is not shrinking. Instead, the USGS blamed the discrepancy on the 1950s-era technology originally used to measure the mountain. A team of GPS experts from the USGS and partner organizations reached Denali's peak in June and, after analyzing the data, they settled on 20,310 feet. http://nbcnews.to/1Fkfh0X http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
