Tana Glacier, Valley glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, US
Tana Glacier extends for 17 miles from Bagley Icefield, flowing northwest through the mountainous terrain of the Valdez-Cordova region.
The name of the glacier originates from Alaska Native languages and was documented by early prospectors who explored the region in 1900.
The glacier serves as a research site for scientists studying climate patterns and geological processes in the Alaskan wilderness.
Access to the glacier requires a five-day hiking commitment from McCarthy, with necessary equipment including crampons, waterproof gear, and trekking poles.
The glacier's surface features streams of water flowing over transparent ice, while its terminus forms extensive outwash plains.
