2024 Map of Bering Glacier C-3 SE

About this map

The Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness spans a formidable glaciated corridor in this modern survey, where the convergence of the Chugach and Saint Elias Mountains creates some of the most dramatic topographic relief in the region. The landscape is defined by massive glacial flows and high-altitude ice fields, notably the broad expanse of the Bagley Ice Valley which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. Moving north, the terrain gives way to the ice-carved textures of the Tana Glacier. This map provides a precise record of contemporary ice margins and alpine hydrology, essential for researchers tracking the physical transformation of the Alaskan backcountry. The lack of any man-made structures or roads emphasizes the protected status and extreme environment of this wilderness area.
