About this map

Disenchantment Bay dominates this glacial landscape, where the shifting ice of Turner Glacier and Black Glacier meets the saltwater of the North Pacific. The shoreline is marked by prominent coastal features including Point Latouche and Bancas Point, while Haenke Island stands as a lone terrestrial landmark amidst the bay's waters. The convergence of these massive ice flows into the sea creates a dynamic environment of calving ice and active sedimentation, visible through the presence of New Reef and the Logan Bluffs at the southern edge. Inland, the topography is defined by steep drainage systems such as Calahonda Creek, Indian Camp Cr, and Aquadulce Cr, which cut through the protected lands of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Tongass National Forest.
