2021 Map of Yakutat C-2 SE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in the northern reaches of the Tongass National Forest. The map is dominated by the massive ice fields of Battle Glacier and Novatak Glacier, which flow through the steep terrain and create a complex system of glacial valleys and ridges. This 2021 survey illustrates the contemporary extent of these ice masses within the Yakutat region of Alaska, providing a precise record of the current glaciated environment. Given the absence of roads, settlements, or infrastructure, the map serves primarily as a study of the interplay between permanent ice and the coastal mountain range, capturing the scale of the ice-dominated wilderness before it meets the sea.
