2024 Map of Bering Glacier C-5 SW

About this map

Bagley Ice Valley dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 2024 survey, illustrating the massive ice fields that feed the Bering Glacier system. Located within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, the topography is defined by significant ice movement and glacial features. To the south, the terrain rises toward Waxell Ridge, where sharp contours delineate the boundary between major ice flows and the rugged mountain backbone. This map serves as a modern record of one of the most active glacial regions in North America, where the confluence of administrative boundaries like the Yakutat Borough and Copper River Census Area meets a landscape essentially untouched by human infrastructure.
