2017 Map of Mount Fairweather C-5 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this landscape, where the ice and mountains of the Fairweather Range meet the Pacific. The glacial activity here is dynamic, defined by massive ice flows like the Lituya Glacier and Cascade Glacier that carve through the Saint Elias Mountains. These frozen rivers shape the coastline, notably around Crillon Inlet, which is fed by both the North Crillon Glacier and South Crillon Glacier. Isolated landmarks such as Bay Peak rise above the ice, providing fixed points in a territory constantly reshaped by advancing and retreating glaciers. This map serves as a precise record of the shoreline and ice extent along the Gulf of Alaska in the early 21st century, illustrating the intersection of maritime and alpine environments.
