Nabesna Glacier dominates the central corridor of this Alaskan wilderness within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The topography illustrates a landscape of extreme elevation changes, where massive ice fields transition into drainage systems like Nikonda Cr. To the east, the Nikonda Glacier carves through the high terrain, highlighting the glacial dynamics that define the Copper River basin region. This 2016 survey provides a precise record of these shifting ice boundaries and the surrounding mountain ranges, offering essential data for understanding the hydrologic and geological character of the unorganized borough.
