2024 Map of Bering Glacier C-1 NW

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where ice and elevation define the geography. This 2024 survey captures the upper reaches of the massive Bering Glacier and the adjacent Logan Glacier, two critical components of the regional glacial system. Much of the mapped area falls within the protected boundaries of the Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness, illustrating a terrain almost entirely devoid of human infrastructure. The map emphasizes the natural contours and flow lines of the ice fields, providing a modern baseline for studying glacier extent in one of the most significant wilderness areas of the United States. Without roads or settlements, the topography itself becomes the primary historical record for this remote section of the Copper River Census Area.
