The Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness dominates this high-latitude terrain, where the massive ice fields of the Saint Elias Mountains feed into complex glacial systems. The Bering Glacier is the primary feature of the southern sections, its vast footprint joined by the Bagley Ice Valley to the west. This map documents a dynamic frozen landscape at a time of significant cryospheric change, illustrating the interface between these immense ice flows and the administrative boundaries of the Chugach Census Area, Copper River Census Area, and Yakutat Borough. To the east, the Tana Glacier marks the edge of this glacial complex, highlighting the scale of the ice-dominated geography that defines this portion of Alaska.
