Bagley Icefield, Ice field in Valdez-Cordova Census Area, United States
The Bagley Icefield extends over 200 kilometers across southeastern Alaska, making it North America's largest non-polar ice formation.
James W. Bagley, an engineer who mapped Alaska before World War I, contributed his expertise to document this geographical formation.
Scientists from multiple research institutions regularly study the ice field to understand glacial systems and environmental changes in North America.
The ice field remains accessible through guided tours departing from nearby stations, requiring specialized equipment and professional accompaniment.
The ice mass reaches depths of 1,000 meters and feeds several major glacier systems, including the Guyot Glacier.
