2017 Map of McCarthy B-2 NW

About this map

Mt Bona and Mt Churchill dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The terrain is characterized by massive ice fields and the movement of the Russell Glacier and Klutlan Glacier, which carve through the peaks in the Saint Elias Mountains. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the modern glacial extent and elevation contours of these significant Alaskan summits. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this protected wilderness area, where geological forces and alpine climate remain the primary architects of the land.
