About this map

Mt Sanford dominates this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the massive ice fields of the Wrangell Mountains feed into a network of slow-moving glacial systems. The northern slopes are defined by the Drop Glacier and West Glacier, while the southern reaches fall into the Sanford Glacier valley. This area represents a protected wilderness within the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the broader Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The map provides a precise look at the glaciology of the region as it existed in the early 21st century, illustrating how these ice masses interact with the high peaks and steep contours of the surrounding range.
