2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-2 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this landscape, showing a portion of the vast glacial systems in the northern reaches of Yakutat. The icy expanse of the Guyot Glacier is the primary feature of this 2017 survey, where contour lines tightly track the dramatic elevations of the ice and surrounding terrain. The map depicts a wilderness environment largely defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural borders and the complex topography of the Saint Elias Mountains. Researchers can study the glacial extent and the shifting boundaries between the ice fields and the surrounding peaks at this specific moment in the early 21st century.
