2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-1 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the jagged peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains rise sharply above glacial ice. The ice-choked terrain is defined by the massive Bering Glacier and the smaller Tyndall Glacier, illustrating the immense scale of the region's cryosphere. High elevation landmarks such as Mt Huxley and the ridge known as The Hump provide the primary orientation points in a wilderness devoid of human settlements or roads. The map also delineates the United States / Canada international boundary as it runs through the Yakutat Borough, tracing the high ridges above Crater Basin. This 2017 survey serves as a precise record of the ice margins and topographic contours in one of North America's most formidable alpine environments.
