It is reached from the railroad terminal and port of Cordova, which lies on the east side of Prince William Figure 1.—Index Map of Part of Alaska Showing location of Wrangell Mountains and Kennecott Glacier (after U. S. Geological Survey) Topographic Setting The gathering grounds of Kennecott Glacier are in the lofty Wrangell Mountains. These form an irregular mountain group, with a north- westerly-southeasterly trend, and have been and still are the seat of intense glaciation. They support extensive snowfields and innumerable large and small valley glaciers. The range lies north of the Gulf of Alaska and is separated from it by the high, rugged, snow-covered Chugach Range, and is thus an interior range of mountains. The higher peaks of the Wrangell Mountains rise to 16,140 feet and many are over 12,000 feet. Kennecott Glacier emanates from Mount Blackburn, which rises to an elevation of 16,140 feet, and its largest tributary extends from.
