2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-3 NE

About this map

Robinson Mountains rise sharply across the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a formidable topographic barrier within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details an environment of extreme relief and ice, where the high peaks of the Yakutat City and Borough drop into the massive icy expanse of the Guyot Glacier in the northeast. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the protected, wilderness character of this region, which remains largely defined by its glacial movement and high-altitude terrain. Researchers and geologists can observe the intricate contouring of the ridges and the specific drainage patterns that feed the surrounding glacial systems.
