Grewingk Glacier, Glacier in Kenai Mountains near Kachemak Bay, Alaska
The Grewingk Glacier extends for 13 miles across the Kenai Mountains, covering an area of 19,200 acres with its terminus at Grewingk Creek.
The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey named this glacier in 1880 after Baltic German geologist Constantin Grewingk for his contributions to geological research.
Scientists conduct regular studies of the glacier's movements and retreat patterns, contributing to research on climate changes in the Alaskan region.
Visitors need to take a water taxi across Kachemak Bay to access the trail leading to the glacier, which spans 4.8 miles round-trip through dense forests.
The glacier's lake contains bright blue icebergs that break off from the main ice mass, creating a constantly changing landscape throughout the seasons.
