English: This is a 3D rendered panoramic map of Malaspina Glacier as of 2021, created by Tom Patterson. This version has no labels or any other text.
Description on website: "High, wild, remote, and icy—these are some of the words that describe the Saint Elias Mountains. They are the highest coastal mountains on Earth. Massive glaciers spill down their slopes, calving into the sea. But the Saint Elias Mountains are little-known because few people live nearby, a lack of road access, and an international border that divides them. They are neither here nor there. I rendered this panorama to showcase a wild landscape in its entirety where human development is minimal. The sprawling Malaspina Glacier with its concentric rings of ice, rubble, and meltwater is front and center. I started this project in 2017 and then put it aside for four years. However, accelerating climate change brought newfound urgency to my mapping. I wanted to map this beautiful glacier while it still exists. I hope that you find my panorama informative and inspiring." Description on versions of map with text: "You are looking at North America's icy heartland with a telephoto lens from an altitude of 206 kilometers (125 miles)—one half as high as the International Space Station. The map showcases a wild land where human influences are few. It is a rare day with no clouds. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with height samples every 22.5-meters underlies the scene. It contains US and Canadian government data. I employed manual touchups along the international border, especially on Mount Saint Elias, where the data matched poorly. The Alaska DEMs in the foreground date from 2015–17. Textures derive from the 2015 North American Land Cover 30-meter dataset. The natural colors represent water, snow and ice, barren land, low vegetation, broadleaf forest, needleleaf forest, and wetland. In addition, I merged 2017 Landsat imagery with the land cover to depict ocean sediments and glacier textures. Glacier snouts covered with dirt and rocks appear lighter than they actually are. I simplified other information for clarity, such as chaotic braided rivers. The international border appears as a continuous line, although in reality it hides behind mountains in places." |
