Mount Denali received not only a new name on August 30, 2015, it also received a new elevation. Using the Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) product from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data, the listed elevation for Moutn Denali went from 20,320 feet to 20,310 feet. The reduction in elevation was due to a more detailed global elevation survey made possible with the high resolution data from ASTER in the GDEM. Better technology led to a more accurate elevation.
