2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-2 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates the southern half of this coastal survey, where steep glacial terrain meets the tidewaters of the North Pacific. The landscape is defined by its deep inlets and glacial drainage systems, most notably Tsaa Fiord and the eastern reaches of Icy Bay. In the northern section, the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the Guyot Hills, a prominent landform situated between the coastal waters and the interior wilderness. Freshwater drainage is represented by coastal streams such as Independence Cr and Carson Cr, which carve through the high-elevation contours before reaching the Gulf of Alaska. This document illustrates the intersection of two major federal conservation areas in a region where the geography is constantly reshaped by maritime influence and glacial activity.
