美国国家公园管理局表示，阿拉斯加州一名护林员在北美最高山脉坠入冰裂缝后身亡。
这位来自华盛顿州恩姆克拉夫的罗宾·彭德里是分配至迪纳利国家公园和保护区的季节性登山护林员。公园管理局称，她周四在麦金利山执行登山巡逻任务时失足坠落，尽管救援人员立即展开营救，最终仍不治身亡。
目前该死亡事件正在调查中。仅一周前，一支拉脱维亚登山队的三名队员在麦金利山一处危险隘口附近坠亡，第四名队员被救起。这支七人小队正在攀爬一条以裸露岩壁路段闻名的路线，多年来已有多名登山者在此路段丧生或受伤。
公园管理局透露，2025年6月，一名登山者在攀登该山的西壁登山路线时坠落3000英尺后身亡。
据公园管理局数据，这座阿拉斯加国家公园每年接待游客约60万人次，主要游览时段为5月底至9月初。麦金利山又名迪纳利山，海拔约20310英尺。彭德里的坠亡地点位于所谓的14000英尺营地附近。
美国国家公园管理局表示，彭德里于2024年加入迪纳利登山护林员团队，负责协助保障登山者安全、应急响应及登山运营工作。
“我们的登山护林员致力于在世界上最具挑战性的环境之一为游客提供服务、帮助他人，”迪纳利公园主管布鲁克·梅里尔周五在一份声明中说道，“今天，我们为一位珍贵的同事、朋友和队友的离世哀悼。”

Park ranger dies after falling into crevasse on America’s tallest peak

A ranger in Alaska died after falling into a crevasse on North America’s tallest mountain, the National Park Service said.
Robin Pendery of Enumclaw, Washington, was a seasonal mountaineering ranger assigned to Denali National Park and Preserve. She fell Thursday while on climbing patrol on Mount McKinley and died despite immediate rescue efforts, the park service said.
The death is under investigation. It comes only a week after three climbers from a Latvian mountaineering expedition died after falling near a treacherous pass on McKinley. A fourth climber was rescued. They were part of a seven-person team traversing a route known for its exposed sections, where many climbers have died or been injured over the years.
In June 2025, a climber died after falling 3,000 feet while ascending the West Buttress climbing route on the mountain, the park service has said.
The Alaska national park draws roughly 600,000 visitors each year, primarily during late May to early September, according to the park service. McKinley, also known as Denali, stands at about 20,310 feet. Pendery fell near what’s known as the 14,000-foot camp.
Pendery joined the Denali mountaineering staff in 2024, where she helped support climber safety, emergency response and mountaineering operations, the National Park Service said.
“Our mountaineering rangers dedicate themselves to serving visitors and helping others in one of the most challenging environments in the world,” Denali Superintendent Brooke Merrell said in a statement Friday. “Today, we mourn the loss of a valued colleague, friend and teammate.”
