Harvard Glacier, Tidewater glacier in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
Harvard Glacier extends 1.5 miles wide at its face where it meets College Fjord, reaching approximately 300 feet in thickness.
Named during a Harvard University expedition in 1890, this glacier represents the scientific research efforts conducted in Alaska during the late 19th century.
The glacier serves as an educational site for researchers studying glacial movements and environmental changes in the Chugach National Forest region.
Cruise ships and boat tours regularly navigate through Prince William Sound to observe the glacier, which remains active and continues advancing.
Harvard Glacier maintains its position as the second largest glacier in Prince William Sound, covering 120,000 acres of terrain.
