2016 Map of Bering Glacier B-5 SE

About this map

Bering Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, its icy expanse giving way to a network of high-relief ridges and glacial valleys. The flow of water and ice is the defining force here, seen in the braided paths of the Kulthieth River as it winds through the southwestern terrain and the Duktoth River on the eastern edge. This sheet offers a meticulous study of topographical change in a wilderness area defined by moving ice and shifting riverbeds, where the natural boundaries of the Bering Glacier interact with the underlying landforms. The absence of human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the raw geological character of this remote corridor within the Yakutat region.
