Earlier the Governor tweeted the following:

Alaska has thousands of peaks, hills, lakes, rivers and other land features some of which have official names and others that have no names other than those given by the locals. Some places in Alaska can appear on a map as one thing while people will call it something else. An example would be Mt. McKinley which is often referred to as Denali. (h/t Sinistar)
