2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-1 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this coastal alpine landscape where the Saint Elias Mountains meet the sea. The geography is defined by significant ice movement and glacial recession, particularly around Tyndall Glacier and the Agassiz Glacier. These frozen masses feed into the Gulf of Alaska and the evolving Agassiz Lakes, illustrating the dynamic nature of the Yakutat coastline in the early twenty-first century. High-elevation terrain like Hoof Hill rises above the glacial flow, marking points of stable ground in an environment otherwise dominated by shifting ice and water. This survey offers a precise look at the drainage patterns and shoreline morphology of this protected wilderness during a period of documented environmental change.
