2024 Map of Mount Hayes C-6 SE

About this map

Mt Hayes and the high summits of the Alaska Range dominate this topographic study, where ice and elevation define the landscape. Massive river-like ice formations, including the Hayes Glacier and Trident Glacier, fill the deep valleys between sharp peaks like Aurora Peak. The mapping records the intricate contouring of the high-altitude glacial systems, showing the reach of the Susitna Glacier and the Black Rapids Glacier at this specific moment. This survey provides a baseline of the high-mountain terrain within the Southeast Fairbanks area, documenting the interplay between permanent ice fields and the rock faces that guide their flow. It is a vital record for understanding the state of these glaciers in the early twenty-first century.
