2026-08-28 Alaska Vacation Day 7 - Glacier Bay - Margerie & Lamplugh Glacier
226 Photos
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is a 3.3-million-acre protected wilderness area in Southeast Alaska known for its massive tidewater glaciers, dramatic fjords, and rich marine wildlife
Margerie Glacier is about 21 miles (34 km) long, roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, and has a total height of approximately 350 feet (110 m) at its terminus.
Glacier Dimensions and Stats
Length~21 miles~34 km
Width~1 mile~1.6 km
Height above water~250 feet~76 meters
Depth below water~100 feet~30 meters
Total height (terminus)~350 feet~110 meters
Key Details
•Location: Found at the northern reach of Tarr Inlet in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
•Classification: A tidewater glacier that originates in the Fairweather Range at elevations over 9,000 feet.
•Movement: Flows forward at an active rate of roughly 3 to 7 feet per day.
Lamplugh Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, is approximately 19 to 20 miles long, nearly 1 mile (0.9 miles) wide, and rises 150 to 165 feet high at its face above the water.
Key Dimensions
•Length: ~19–20 miles (some historical or upper track measurements list segments around 8–13 miles, but the total active system reaches nearly 20 miles).
•Width: ~0.9 miles (roughly 3/4 to 1 mile wide at the terminus).
•Height at Face: 150 to 165 feet above the water line.
•Flow Rate: Moves at roughly 0.75 to 1 foot per day (about 900–1,000 feet per year).
Physical Context & Features
•Source: It is fed by the expansive Brady Icefield located east of the Fairweather Range.
•Landslide Impact: A massive 2016 rockslide dropped up to 80 million cubic meters of debris onto the upper surface of the glacier, creating a multi-mile rock stripe across the ice.
2026-08-27 Alaska Vacation Day 6 - Turner & Hubbard Glacier
206 Photos
Turner Glacier in Alaska is unique because it surges rapidly every 5 to 8 years, moving at speeds up to 10 times faster than normal.
Unique Characteristics
•Frequent Surging: While most surging glaciers move quickly only every 15 to 20 years or even a century, Turner Glacier surges in a short 5-to-8-year cycle.
•Extreme Speed Changes: During a surge, its flow rate leaps from roughly 3 feet per day to an astonishing 65 feet per day.
•Scientific Importance: Glaciologists study this fast pace to understand ice speed limits and improve predictions for global sea-level rise.
•Location: It is a 21-mile-long tidewater glacier located in Disenchantment Bay near the massive Hubbard Glacier in Alaska.
Turner Glacier in Alaska is 21 miles (34 km) long, with a terminus (front edge) width of about 3.7 to 6 miles (6 to 9.6 km) wide.
Key Size and Physical Details
•Length: Flows southeast for 21 miles (34 km).
•Width: The face at the water is roughly 3.7 to over 6 miles wide.
•Starting Elevation: Begins at about 11,000 feet (3,353 m) on Mount Cook.
•Type: A tidal (tidewater) surging glacier located near Disenchantment Bay and Yakutat Bay.
Hubbard Glacier is North America's largest tidewater glacier, stretching 76 miles (122 km) long and measuring about 6 to 7 miles wide where it meets the ocean.
Dimensions and Scale
•Length: 76 miles (122 km) from its source at Mount Logan in the Yukon Territory down to Disenchantment Bay.
•Width: Roughly 6 to 7 miles wide at its terminal face.
•Height: Rises about 350 to 400 feet above the water line, with an additional 250 feet submerged below the surface, totaling around 600 feet at its face.
Key Facts
•Location: Situated in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve near Yakutat, Alaska.
•Behavior: Unlike most glaciers worldwide that are retreating, Hubbard Glacier has been actively thickening and advancing for over a century.
•Activity: It is famous for dramatic calving events, where massive multi-story blocks of blue ice break off into the sea.
