About Icefield Ranges
The Icefield Ranges are a remote and rugged mountain system located in the far northern reaches of Alaska, near the border with Canada. Spanning over 3,000 square miles, this vast and glaciated region is characterized by towering, snow-capped peaks, expansive icefields, and deeply carved valleys. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with steep, rocky slopes, glaciers, and icefields dominating the landscape. The Icefield Ranges are part of the larger St. Elias Mountains, which include some of the highest peaks in North America, including Mount Logan, Canada's highest mountain.
