About this map

Hawkins Glacier and Barnard Glacier dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which transition between protected administrative zones. The boundary between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking a distinction in land management within this expansive wilderness. High elevation summits such as Aello Peak in the north and Univ Peak to the east define the ice-carved topography, where extreme relief is captured through dense contour intervals. The map illustrates the massive scale of glacial flow through the Wrangell Mountains, providing a precise record of these shifting ice masses and the rocky peaks that rise above them in the early 21st century.
