2014 Map of Bering Glacier B-7 NE

About this map

Steller Glacier and Waxell Glacier dominate this glaciated landscape in the coastal mountains of south-central Alaska. The map traces the boundary of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area Yakutat City and Borough, cutting diagonally across the ice fields. This 2014 survey reveals the complex drainage patterns of a high-altitude wilderness where glacial melt feeds into features like Hohlinsock Lake. The southern edge of the sheet captures the massive expanse of the Bering Glacier, illustrating the interconnected nature of these vast ice systems. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation contours that define the ridges separating these slow-moving ice rivers, providing a detailed record of the region's cryosphere before further modern transformations.
