2017 Map of Bering Glacier D-1 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the entirety of this high-altitude landscape in the Saint Elias Mountains. The map is defined by massive ice fields and active glacial movement, with the sprawling Baldwin Glacier dominating the central and northern sections of the quadrangle. These frozen corridors carve through steep topographical gradients, illustrating the immense geological force of the Alaskan interior's ice systems. Along the eastern margins, the Logan Glacier and Fraser Glacier show the convergence of multiple ice streams. The lack of any roads, trails, or human structures emphasizes the extreme isolation of this protected wilderness during the early 21st century, where the environment is shaped exclusively by ice, rock, and elevation.
