2024 Map of Bering Glacier C-4 SE

About this map

The vast expanse of the Bagley Ice Valley dominates this 2024 landscape, representing one of the most significant glacial features in the region. Flowing through the Saint Elias Mountains, this massive corridor of ice feeds directly into the upper reaches of the Bering Glacier, which covers much of the lower half of the quadrangle. The map captures a wilderness area defined by high-altitude glacial movement and dramatic topography, with the northern boundary of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness bisecting the ice field. This area sits at the intersection of several administrative districts, including the Chugach Census Area Yakutat Borough and the Copper River Census Area Chugach Census Area. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the isolation of this corner of the Alaska coast, where the landscape is shaped entirely by ice and tectonic scale.
