WrangellSt

WrangellSt is an informal designation that appears in some online and print contexts as a shorthand for topics related to the Wrangell region and the Wrangell–St. Elias area in Alaska. It is not an official geographic term or organizational name, and its meaning can vary by source.

The most prominent reference associated with the Wrangell name is Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Established in 1980 under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, it is the largest national park in the United States by area. The protected area covers about 13.2 million acres (roughly 53,000 square kilometers) and encompasses multiple mountain ranges, extensive glaciers, and rugged river valleys. Within the region are historic mining towns such as Kennicott and McCarthy, which are notable for their cultural heritage and tourist interest. The park is recognized for its dramatic geology, ecological diversity, and opportunities for backcountry recreation, mountaineering, and wildlife viewing.

In addition to the park reference, WrangellSt is sometimes used as a shorthand or branding element in various media, maps, or projects related to the Wrangell region. Such uses are informal and nonstandard, and they can refer to a locality, a historical topic, a brand, or a digital project depending on the context.
