2017 Map of Bering Glacier B-2 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the majority of this high-latitude terrain, where the extreme topography of the Alaska coast is recorded with precision. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Yahyse Glacier, part of the massive ice complex feeding the Bering Glacier system. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate view of glacial movement and elevation contours, marking the transition between frozen mountain slopes and the moving ice of the glacier. The map is defined by its absence of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the shifting physical boundaries of one of North America's most dynamic glacial environments.
