2016 Map of Bering Glacier B-6 SE

About this map

The Bering Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, illustrating the massive ice field as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The terrain transitions south into the high elevations of the Robinson Mountains and McIntosh Peak, where the ice-carved topography gives way to the lower-lying Sint Hills. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the braided drainage systems of the Kulthieth River and Kosakuts River, showing the intricate flow patterns created by glacial melt. This survey serves as a vital record of the shifting relationship between glacial margins and coastal river basins in the Yakutat region.
