Brady Glacier, Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, US
Brady Glacier is a large ice field in Glacier Bay National Park that flows southeastward for about 24 miles toward Taylor Bay. The ice descends through a wide valley surrounded by mountains that frame the landscape.
The glacier was named after Reverend Brady O'Keefe, a missionary and governor who worked in Alaska during the 1800s. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey gave it this name during their mapping work in the region.
Scientists conduct regular measurements of the glacier's equilibrium line altitude at 800 meters, making it an important location for climate research.
Access is by authorized tour operators who offer boat and air tours through the national park. The glacier sits in a remote location, so visitors should expect longer travel times to reach it.
The glacier resists the regional pattern of ice retreat because a large outwash plain at its terminus deposits material continuously. This feature makes it an important study site for researchers monitoring how ice responds to climate shifts.
