2017 Map of Bering Glacier C-1 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park protects the immense glaciated terrain of this remote Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by massive ice flows, including the prominent Baldwin Glacier to the northwest and the Fraser Glacier in the northeast corner of the sheet. Between these frozen giants, the topography rises into steep, unnamed ridges with elevations exceeding 10,000 feet, where the ice begins to transition into the drainage of the Jefferies Glacier to the south. This 2017 survey documents the precise margins of these glaciers at a specific moment in time, providing a clear record of ice extent and contour before further seasonal shifts occur. The land is characterized by its isolation and the sheer scale of its geological features, with no roads or permanent structures present, leaving the survey lines and public land divisions as the only human-imposed markings on this mountain wilderness.
