2024 Map of Bering Glacier C-1 SW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this quadrangle, characterized by severe elevation changes and expansive glacial features. The map details a remote wilderness landscape within the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, where the massive ice flow of the Bering Glacier meets the southern slopes of the range. To the southwest, the Chugach Mountains emerge, marking a significant transition point between two of Alaska's most prominent mountain systems. The absence of roads, settlements, or structures emphasizes the primitive state of this environment, focusing entirely on the intricate contouring of the peaks and the vast reaches of the ice field. This survey serves as a precise record of glacial positioning and topographic relief in a region where the landscape is defined by the slow movement of ice and the height of the coastal ranges.
