2014 Map of Bering Glacier C-7 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses a massive glacial landscape in this 2014 survey. The topography is dominated by the massive Steller Glacier and Waxell Glacier, separated by the high elevations of Waxell Ridge. This map illustrates the immense scale of these ice fields before modern warming significantly altered their boundaries. The area is entirely remote, devoid of roads or settlements, with the map primarily serving to document the natural boundary of the National Park and the intricate contour lines of the ice-covered peaks. Researchers and glaciologists can use this data to trace the historical footprint of these glaciers as they existed in the early 21st century.
