2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-2 NE

About this map

The massive expanse of the Bering Glacier dominates this high-altitude landscape within Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. Situated at the intersection of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area and Yakutat Borough, the terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains. The map illustrates the complex glacial topography and elevation contours of a region where the ice meets the mountain range, showing the shifting borders of the wilderness before more recent climatic changes. Researchers can trace the vast ice field as it flows through several townships, including t16s r22e and t17s r23e, providing a precise record of this protected Alaskan wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
