Taku Inlet, Glacial inlet near Juneau, United States
Taku Inlet extends 18 miles northeast from Stephens Passage in the Alexander Archipelago, forming a basin where the Taku River and Taku Glacier meet.
Since 1890, Taku Glacier has advanced approximately 3 miles into the inlet, resulting in substantial sediment accumulation at the waterway's head.
The Taku River Tlingit First Nation maintains traditional practices in the region, conducting seal hunting and fishing activities throughout the inlet's waters.
Navigation through Taku Inlet requires shallow draft river boats due to limited water depth, with an existing channel between Taku Point and Norris Glacier moraine.
The convergence of five glaciers - Norris, Taku, Hole-in-the-Wall, Twin, and Tulsequah - creates a distinctive ice formation along the inlet's southeastern edge.
