Guyot Glacier, Glacier formation in Yakutat Borough, Alaska.

The Guyot Glacier extends 34 miles in length and 8 miles in width within the Robinson Mountains, flowing eastward toward Icy Bay.

The New York Times expedition of 1886 named this glacier in recognition of Arnold Henry Guyot, marking a period of Alaskan exploration.

Scientists conduct research at Guyot Glacier to understand glacial marine sedimentation patterns and their effects on the regional environment.

Summer months provide the most suitable conditions for accessing the glacier, with McCarthy serving as the primary entry point for visitors.

The glacier contains ice caves formed by water streams, reaching heights of 8 meters and creating geological formations known as eskers.
