2014 Map of Bering Glacier C-6 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the Unorganized Borough, where massive ice fields and the Chugach Mountains dominate the environment. The map details a convergence of significant glaciers, including the sprawling Steller Glacier and the Bremner Glacier, which carve through the peaks at elevations reaching over 7,000 feet. The contour patterns reveal the intense glacial topography of the region, illustrating how the ice flows through passes between unnamed summits. To the south and east, the Waxell Glacier and Tana Glacier define the drainage and movement of the ice sheet. This 2014 survey captures the ice extent and mountainous terrain of one of the most protected and inaccessible reaches of the Alaskan wilderness, documenting the boundary lines of the national park against the backdrop of the rugged Pacific cordillera.
