2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-1 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the massive alpine terrain of this 2017 survey, where glacial movement and high-elevation topography define the Alaskan wilderness. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Yahtse Glacier, which flows through the center of the quadrangle amidst the steep contour lines of the Saint Elias Mountains. This map provides a precise geodetic record of the ice and mountain boundaries within the t18s r24e and t19s r24e townships. For researchers of glaciology or Alaskan geography, the sheet offers a detailed view of the ice fields before continued modern shifts, capturing the specific elevation and extent of the glacier as it existed during the mid-2010s.
