KRIMMEL GEOSPATIAL INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS OF GLACIERS: A CASE STUDY FOR THE EASTERN ALASKA RANGE By WILLIAM F. MANLEY SATELLITE IMAGE ATLAS OF THE GLACIERS OF THE WORLD Edited by RICHARD S. WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–K About 5 percent (about 75,000 km2) of Alaska is presently glacierized, including 11 mountain ranges, 1 large island, an island chain, and 1 archipelago. The total number of glaciers in Alaska is estimated at >100,000, including many active and former tidewater glaciers. Glaciers in every mountain range and island group are experiencing significant retreat, thinning, and (or) stagnation, especially those at lower elevations, a process that began by the middle of the 19th century. In southeastern Alaska and western Canada, 205 glaciers have a history of surging; in the same region, at least 53 present and 7 former large ice-dammed lakes have produced jökulhlaups (glacier-outburst floods). Ice-capped Alaska volcanoes also have the potential for jökulhlaups caused by subglacier volcanic and geothermal activity. Satellite remote sensing provides the only practical means of monitoring regional changes in glaciers in response to short- and long-term changes in the maritime and continental climates of Alaska. Geospatial analysis is used to define selected glaciological parameters in the eastern part of the Alaska Range.

  • 219 Hinds and Me to 9,000 Feet on the Upper Nabesna Glacier Below
    CLIMBS AND EXPEDITIONS: CANADA 219 Hinds and me to 9,000 feet on the upper Nabesna Glacier below Regal Mountain (13,845’). We established a high camp at 10,800 feet, from which we made an ascent of Peak 12,454’ (first ascended in June, 1955) via its east ridge (Alaska Grade 1). The next day, we climbed Regal Mountain up its southern slopes (Alaska Grade 2) after retreating from its striking southwest ridge. We then spent two days skiing 15 miles west over Mountaineers’ Passto an 8,000-foot camp below the north face of Rime Peak (12,741’) and Atna Peak (13,860’), scrambling up Peak 8,560’ en route. Cory, Wayne, Ben and Cathy then climbed the northwest face of Parka Peak (13,280’) (Alaska Grade 1) via Mountaineers’ Pass, only removing their skis for the final 700 feet. Cory, Elena, Wayne and Cathy then attempted the east ridge of Rime Peak (Alaska Grade 2) from the At&Rime co1 before turning back at 12,500 feet. Exposed snow and ice climbing up to 60 degrees made for exciting climbing. Future parties should be aware that all routes up Parka, Atna and Rime Peaks from the north are exposed to sometimes considerable serac avalanche danger. Our group also made ascents of Peak 10,060’, Peak 8,500’+ and Peak 7,280’ before our pilot returned for us on May 22, after 14 sunny days in the Wrangells.
