Which of these mountains is in Alaska?

• Mount McKinley
• Mount Hood
• Grand Teton
• Mount Elbert

Denali, also called Mount McKinley, is the tallest mountain in North America, located in south-central Alaska. With a peak that reaches 20,310 feet above sea level, Denali is the third-highest of the Seven Summits (the tallest on all seven continents). “Denali” comes from Koyukon, a traditional Native Alaskan language, and means “the tall one.” This name had been used for many generations and by early non-Native researchers and naturalists. But in 1896, William A. Dickey, a prospector, began calling Denali “Mount McKinley” in honor of William McKinley, a presidential candidate at the time. Congress formally recognized the name in 1917, despite McKinley’s tenuous ties to Alaska (he had never visited). But Native Alaskans, as well as locals of varied backgrounds, continued to call the mountain Denali.

Which mountain in the Swiss Alps is famous for its pyramidal shape?

• Jungfrau
• Matterhorn
• Mont Blanc
• Eiger

The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 14,692 ft high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe. The mountain's current shape is the result of cirque erosion due to multiple glaciers diverging from the peak, such as the Matterhorn Glacier at the base of the north face. Sometimes referred to as the Mountain of Mountains, it has become an indelible emblem of the Alps in general.

Which mountain is the second highest in the world?

• Dhaulagiri
• K2
• Makalu
• Lhotse

K2, KARAKORAM, PAKISTAN/CHINA (8611 m): The second highest mountain in the world is K2. The mountain took its name from the notation used by the Great Trigonometrical Survey of British India. At the time, there wasn’t an apparent local name for the mountain, and so it stuck. K2 is also nicknamed the ‘Savage Mountain’, which is cool in a slightly Point Break, over-the-top extreme kind of way. It is fitting, though, too.

Which mountain range shares a name with a type of chair?

• Teton
• Klamath
• Olympic
• Adirondack

The Adirondack Chair actually has a few other names throughout the world. The design that we know today was named after the Adirondack mountain range in New York, possibly because this style of chair was prevalent in the health spas created for tuberculosis patients who came to the mountains for fresh air. However, the original design was the Westport plank chair, named after the city in New York where the design was created. The same design in Canada is called a Muskoka chair, after a type of summer vacation cottage. Finally, in France, this type of chair is known as the Laurentian chair, after a popular getaway region in Quebec.
