Worthington Glacier, Valley glacier in Thompson Pass, Alaska.
The Worthington Glacier extends four miles in length, descending near the Richardson Highway with its terminal fingers against bedrock and gravel.
The National Park Service designated Worthington Glacier as a National Natural Landmark in 1968, recognizing its significance in the natural heritage of Alaska.
The recreational site features interpretive signs and a glacier model in a covered pavilion, educating visitors about glacial formations and environmental changes.
A paved, wheelchair-accessible trail leads visitors from the parking area to viewing platforms equipped with scopes for observing the glacier.
Thompson Pass, where Worthington Glacier resides, receives up to 80 feet of snow annually, contributing to the glacier's preservation despite regional warming.
