Miles Glacier, Glacier in Valdez-Cordova, Alaska.
Miles Glacier extends across 30 miles of terrain in the Chugach Mountains, featuring a massive ice formation that flows toward the surrounding waterways.
The United States Geological Survey named this glacier after Captain John Miles during their explorations of Alaska in the early twentieth century.
Native Alaskan communities maintain traditional connections to the lands near Miles Glacier, incorporating the natural features into their seasonal practices.
Access to Miles Glacier requires proper winter gear and guidance from local tour operators who provide necessary equipment for safe exploration.
The glacier creates thunderous sounds during calving events when large sections of ice separate from the main formation and crash into the water.
