According to Unesco, ‘The Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek National Parks and protected areas along the boundary of Canada and the United States of America contain the largest non-polar icefield in the world.. These tectonically active joint properties feature continuous mountain building and contain outstanding examples of major ongoing geologic and glacial processes. Over 200 glaciers in the ice-covered central plateau combine to form some of the world’s largest and longest glaciers, several of which stretch to the sea. The site displays a broad range of glacial processes, including world-class depositional features and classic examples of moraines, hanging valleys, and other geomorphological features….’.

On the U.S.A. side Alaska forms the boundary of the property, and Yokon River basin stands on the border of the Canadian side.
