2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-1 SE

About this map

Wrangéll-Saint Elias National Park dominates this glacial landscape on the edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by the massive reach of the Agassiz Glacier, which feeds into the Agassiz Lakes and influences the drainage patterns of the Caetani River to the south. This coastal region is characterized by extreme topographic shifts, from the sea-level shoreline to the prominent elevations of the Chaix Hills. The map details the complex ice-and-water systems of the Yakutat City and Borough area, documenting the positions of active glacial margins and braided river channels as they appeared in 2017. These features represent a highly dynamic environment where shifting ice and sediment continuously reshape the coastal wilderness.
