Narrative:
Aircraft landing [was] on mostly unimproved landing area near base of a glacier; swerved at end of landing roll at low speed due to angular depression on surface which caused it to contact an alder thicket. This caused the aircraft to stop in a nose low attitude at a very low speed with some contact of the propeller with soft terrain. No airframe damage occurred due to low speed.
