1985 Map of Bering Glacier B-7

About this map

Bering Glacier and Steller Glacier dominate this remote Alaskan coastal landscape, recorded during the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a massive glacial system in flux, characterized by extensive Moraine deposits that trace the historical movement of ice across the terrain. Rising above the frozen expanse, the Khitrov Hills and Grindle Hills serve as prominent terrestrial landmarks amidst the white and blue of the ice fields. This provisional survey, compiled from aerial photography taken in the early 1970s, captures a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements. Instead, the focus remains entirely on the natural geography of the region, providing a detailed record of the glacial margins and the rocky outcrops that define this portion of the Yakutat area.
