Lamplugh Glacier, Tidewater glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, US.
Rising 160 feet high and spanning three-quarters of a mile wide, Lamplugh Glacier extends for 8 miles through Glacier Bay National Park.
Lawrence Martin of the U.S. Geological Survey named the glacier in 1912 after English geologist George William Lamplugh who studied the area in 1884.
Scientists monitor the glacier's changes to understand climate patterns and environmental transformations in the Alaskan wilderness over time.
Visitors can reach the glacier through boat tours departing from Juneau, with many cruise ships including it in their Glacier Bay itineraries.
In 2016, a massive landslide deposited 120 million metric tons of rock onto the glacier, creating a debris field extending 5.6 miles.
