With the assistance of the Yukon Geological Survey, Dr. Paul Sanborn was able to visit the terminus of the Klutlan Glacier, a major outlet glacier which originates in the Alaska portion of the St. Elias Mountains. The stagnant terminus has a thick cover of debris, including a large component of White River tephra, providing enough soil material to support a boreal forest. Field work occurred on July 8, 2007, and results were published as:

"Ken McCannel, a forester in the Surveys Division was in charge of the YMFTP for the entire province. He dropped in at Aleza Lake on an inspection trip at the same time as Malcolm Knapp. Professor Knapp of the forestry department of UBC went from camp to camp giving lectures on forestry to the YMFTP crews. They posed for this picture. Sills were being whip-sawn for foundations on the older buildings." -- from the notes of Ralph Schmidt in accompanying file
