The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the international boundary where the USA and Canada meet. This 2017 survey details a remote section of the Tongass National Forest within the Yakutat Borough, defined by massive ice fields and high-relief topography. The movement of ice is recorded through the presence of the East Nunatak Glacier and the West Nunatak Glacier, which flow through deep glacial valleys between unnamed peaks. The map provides a precise view of the terminal and lateral extent of these glaciers at the time of the survey, offering a baseline for studying the shifting ice margins in this corner of the Stikine Region.
