2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-4 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where massive ice fields flow between the peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains. This 2017 survey documents a dramatic glacial environment, specifically the upper reaches of the Fairweather Range where several prominent ice rivers originate. These include the Margerie Glacier and the Johns Hopkins Glacier, which carve through the terrain as they move toward the coast. The map also traces the Tyeen Glacier and the John Glacier, providing a detailed record of their extent and the surrounding topography. The lack of human settlement or infrastructure underscores the remote and protected character of this wilderness area, where geological forces and ice movement remain the primary agents of change.
