2017 Map of Bering Glacier C-3 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the vast majority of this 2017 landscape, where massive ice fields and high-altitude terrain define the region's geography. The map captures the meeting point of several significant glacial systems, including the southern reaches of the Tana Glacier and the expansive Bering Glacier. The topography is dominated by the steep rises of the Chugach Mountains, which overlook the high-elevation trough of the Bagley Ice Valley. This survey also documents the administrative boundary between the Valdez-Cordova Census Area and the Yakutat Borough, illustrating where local government jurisdictions intersect with some of Alaska's most inaccessible wilderness. The absence of roads or human infrastructure underscores the preservation of this glaciated environment within the national park system.
