Barnard Glacier, Glacier in Valdez-Cordova, Alaska.
Barnard Glacier extends 53 kilometers through the Saint Elias Mountains, featuring a clean ice tongue without medial or lateral moraines at 4193 feet elevation.
The glacier received its name from Barnard College, a member institution of the Seven Sisters associated with Columbia University in New York.
Scientists conduct research at Barnard Glacier to study glacial movements and analyze historical climate patterns within the Alaskan wilderness system.
Access requires coordination through McCarthy, with visitors needing air transportation or specialized vehicles to reach the remote glacier location.
Two separate water streams flow from the glacier terminus, while its northern section connects to an irregular ice mass on a shelf.
