in the pristine wilderness of Denali National Park, where towering peaks pierce the heavens and glaciers gleam like ethereal jewels, an unexpected threat lurks beneath the surface. Microplastics,tiny fragments of plastic that have found their way into the environment,are now being detected in this seemingly untouched realm. as scientists embark on a quest to unravel the extent and impact of this hidden menace,a journey into the depths of Denali begins,where the search for microplastics becomes a poignant exploration of the human footprint on the world’s most majestic landscapes.
– Microscopic Menace Ascending Denalis Heights
Microplastics have been found at every point tested along the Kahiltna Glacier route, the primary climbing route up 20,310-foot Denali, North America’s highest peak, according to preliminary research results shared today by the National Park Service and the University of California, Berkeley.
