2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-2 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the massive glacial systems and high-altitude terrain shown in this 2017 survey. The landscape is dominated by the Bering Glacier and the Bagley Ice Valley, representing a massive frozen drainage system that shapes the southern coast of Alaska. The transition between the Valdez-Cordova Census Area and the Yakutat Borough is marked here by dramatic elevation changes, with the Chugach Mountains rising sharply from the ice fields. This map documents the complex topography of one of North America's most dynamic glacial environments during a period of significant geological interest.
