Alsek Ranges
The
Alsek Ranges
are the southeasternmost subdivision of the
Saint Elias Mountains
of the
Pacific Cordillera
. They span the region between the
Alsek River
,
Glacier Bay
and the
Kelsall River
(which is the route of the highway from
Haines, Alaska
to
Haines Junction, Yukon
). Their western boundary is the Grand Pacific Glacier, beyond which is the
Fairweather Range
, another subdivision of the St. Elias Mountains. To their east is the northernmost section of the
Boundary Ranges
, the northernmost subdivision of the
Coast Mountains
and which are also known as the Alaska Boundary Range, and which run south to the
Nass River
and form, as their name indicates, the spine of the boundary between the
American state
of
Alaska
and the
Canadian province
of
British Columbia
.
