Chenega Glacier, Tidewater glacier in Prince William Sound, Alaska, US
The glacier extends 12 miles from Sargent Icefield, reaching Nassau Fjord where its massive ice wall meets the ocean waters.
The United States Geological Survey documented and named this glacier in 1905, connecting it to the nearby Chenega Island and community.
The Alaska Marine Highway System commemorated this natural formation by naming their ferry MV Chenega after the glacier.
Tourists access the glacier through guided boat tours departing from Whittier, offering opportunities to observe ice calving events.
The glacier maintains a terminal position at Nassau Fjord, where its ice mass directly interacts with ocean waters at coordinates 60°14′40″N 148°28′24″W.
