Tracy Arm, Fjord in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, United States.

Tracy Arm extends over 30 miles through the Tongass National Forest, featuring vertical granite walls that rise 3000 feet above the water level.

Benjamin Franklin Tracy, who served as Secretary of the Navy during President Harrison's administration, received recognition through the naming of this fjord.

The waterway contains numerous research stations where scientists study marine ecosystems and document the changes in glacial formations throughout seasons.

Visitors reach Tracy Arm through boat services departing from Juneau between May and September, when the waters remain clear of substantial ice.

The twin Sawyer Glaciers at the terminus of Tracy Arm release ice chunks into the water, creating a natural barricade that ships navigate.
