2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-1 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the massive glaciated landscape of this remote border region. Large ice fields and massive glaciers dominate the terrain, including the sprawling Bering Glacier and the high-elevation Quintino Sella Glacier. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of major administrative boundaries, where the Valdez-Cordova Census Area meets the Yakutat Borough near the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The topographic detail reveals the sharp rise of Table Mtn amid the shifting ice of the Columbus Glacier. The lack of man-made infrastructure underscores the isolation of this part of the Saint Elias Mountains, preserving a record of the natural glacial formations at the start of the twenty-first century.
