Tazlina Glacier, Ice formation in Valdez-Cordova, United States.
Tazlina Glacier spans 25 miles across the Chugach Mountains, featuring vast ice fields that extend from Mount Cashman to Tazlina Lake.
The glacier has demonstrated continuous changes in its mass and position since scientific observations began, with documented retreat patterns over recent decades.
Native Alaskan communities have integrated the glacier into their traditional hunting and navigation practices throughout generations in the Valdez-Cordova region.
Visitors can access observation points of the glacier through designated trails starting 43 miles north of Valdez, requiring winter equipment during cold months.
This natural formation stands as the largest northward-flowing glacier within the Chugach Mountains, reaching an elevation of 4,655 feet.
