Fn Fct: North America's highest mountain should be a volcano. Denali sits about 60 miles above where the Pacific Plate grinds beneath the North American Plate, as do the Iliamna, Redoubt and Augustine volcanoes. If you draw a line from the Aleutians to volcanic features in Interior Alaska, the curve goes over Denali's summit.
