The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, providing a specialized look at the glaciology and protected lands within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The survey illustrates the massive footprint of the Nabesna Glacier in the north and the Kuskulana Glacier in the southwest, mapping the ice-carved topography that defines this interior Alaskan wilderness. As part of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, the area remains devoid of modern development, focusing entirely on the natural boundary lines and extreme elevation changes of one of the largest protected areas in the United States. Researchers can study the subtle contour shifts and drainage patterns that emerge from these permanent ice fields.
