- North America’s Highest Peak to be Surveyed: The USGS, along with NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS), and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), are supporting a Global Positioning System (GPS) survey of Mount McKinley, the highest point in North America. Surveying technology and processes have improved greatly since the last physical survey in 1953 which set the summit peak elevation at 20,320 ft. An experienced team of four climbers will start the precarious trek to the peak with the needed scientific instruments in tow, in the middle part of June. They plan to return on or before July 7 and announce an updated elevation in late August.

- More powerful photos from Nepal!
"We do not show pictures of the earthquake - television and the press took care of that. We do not advertise fund raising - if your hearts have been touched, you have already done that on your own. However, our intention is to show the beauty of Nepal and its people.
