2016 Map of Bering Glacier B-5 NE

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

Chugach Mountains peaks dominate the northern elevation of this landscape, descending sharply into the massive expanse of the Bering Glacier. This 2016 survey provides a precise view of the glacial terminus and the complex meltwater patterns developing as the ice recedes toward the coast. To the southeast, the high terrain of Barkley Ridge defines the boundary between active ice flows and the surrounding mountain wilderness. The map is primarily a study of glaciology and high-altitude topography, showing how the shifting ice mass interacts with the ancient bedrock of the coastal range. Geologists and environmental historians can use this data to trace the recent movement of one of North America's most significant glaciers during a period of rapid change.
