Link to Mount Thor
The link to Mount Thor actually leads to Mount Thor on Baffin Island, Canada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.77.107.20 (talk) 10:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Pacific Coast Ranges vs Alaska Ranges vs Alaska Range
Long ago I was a geographer/cartographic researcher with the Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia and set up their range system, based on Landforms of British Columbia, by Stuart Holland, a geographer with the BC govt in the 1860s; that work is the basis of BCGNIS and the provincial gazetteer etc and likewise is t he source of the province's official toponymy. I think it was in that book that he described the Pacific Coast Ranges as ending at the Saint Elias Mountains, and stated in the same passage that the Alaska Ranges lay beyond (the bivouac.com page, based on this, is at see here), and which he described as comprising the Ghugach, Kenais, and Talkeetnas but NOT the Alaska Range (oddly enough). It makes sense to me to include them in the Pacific Cost Ranges (other than the Talkeetnas) but I'm pretty sure Holland made reference to Alaskan papers on this subject, alhtough I see nothing in USGS/GNIS about this. Just noting this for now, and also that bivouac.com has confused the issue (since I left...) by having a map of the Alaska Ranges at here that melds these ranges with the main Alaska Range; "groupings by convenience" has become a problem at bivouac since I left, so I submit that it is no longer anywhere near an authoritative resource (as I'd tried to make it to be....). Anyone else have thoughts on this? For lack of on-hand references, other than a PDF of Holland I have somewhere (which if someone's interested i can post you the link to download it from), I won't create an Alaska Ranges article or amend this article as of yet.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Map?
Any chance of a map showing the location of this mountain range, please? The description doesn't mean much to me as a non-Alaskan! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.152.10.179 (talk) 20:22, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
