2017 Map of Mount Fairweather C-4 NW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude survey of the southern Fairweather Range, where immense ice fields dominate the topography. The map documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, featuring prominent peaks such as Mt Crillon, Mt Wilbur, and Mt Orville. These mountains feed a complex network of moving ice, including the North Crillon Glacier and South Crillon Glacier, which flow from the high ridges toward the coast. The cartography emphasizes the sheer scale of the glacial environment, tracing the expansive reach of the Johns Hopkins Glacier and the La Perouse Glacier as they carve through the terrain. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of glacial boundaries and terminal positions within the park at this specific moment in the early twenty-first century.
