2017 Map of Mount Fairweather C-4 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this section of the Fairweather Range, where massive ice fields and high peaks define the topography. The landscape is shaped by the movement of the La Perouse Glacier and S Crillon Glacier, which flow from the high elevations near Mt Dagelet and Mt Klooch. These glaciers carve through the central Great Valley, illustrating the powerful glaciological forces that characterize the Alaskan panhandle. Significant landmarks such as Ptarmigan Dome and Mid Dome provide fixed points for navigating this ever-shifting environment of ice and rock. The map captures a moment in the modern era of the park's management, showing the complex interplay between perennial ice and high-altitude terrain before significant seasonal changes.
