On Google maps on the border of Yukon and Alaska near Wrangell St Elias National Preserve, there is a large black rectangle, as though something was being blacked out. Anyone any idea what it could be?

It is quite intriguing. Would love to think it is something man made 1000s of years ago.

It does Webbo. Probably the same reasoning as in Cazzz's link unfortunately.
