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.
At the end of its landing roll on an unprepared surface; a PA-18 crossed a slight depression then hit a small Alder thicket at a very low speed which nosed the aircraft low causing a prop strike.
