Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park dominates this frozen landscape where the international boundary between Alaska and the Yukon Territory cuts across mountain peaks and massive ice fields. The geography is defined by an immense glacial system flowing toward the coast, including the broad Turner Glacier and the distinctively named Valerie Glacier. To the southeast, the ice meets the sea at Disenchantment Bay, where a complex Moraine and Shoreline indicate the dynamic interaction between the glaciers and the Pacific. This 1985 survey illustrates the protected Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness as it appeared before modern climate shifts significantly altered these coastal ice fronts, capturing the technical details of tributary flows like Haenke Glacier and Miller Glacier as they converge toward the bay.
