2016 Map of Bering Glacier B-5 SW

About this map

Bering Glacier dominates the northern landscape of this region in the Yakutat area of Alaska. The icy expanse gives way to the high elevation of the Sint Hills in the central portion of the map, illustrating the dramatic transition from glacial flow to uplifted terrain. To the south, the Kulthieth River winds through the Robinson Mountains, carving a path through the wilderness. This survey demonstrates the complex interaction between glacial recession and mountain hydrology in a remote Alaskan corridor, where the massive ice sheet has historically shaped the very foundation of the land and its drainage patterns.
