Davidson Glacier, Valley glacier in Haines region, Alaska.
Davidson Glacier extends 4.6 miles through the Chilkat Range, forming a substantial glacial lake one mile inland from Chilkat Inlet.
Named in 1867 for George Davidson, this glacier was documented by John Muir in 1879 during his explorations of Glacier Bay.
The indigenous people of the region refer to this natural formation as Ssitkaje, preserving their connection to the landscape.
Visitors from Haines and Skagway can access the glacier through guided canoe trips and wilderness safaris that include forest hikes.
The glacier's terminus features distinctive moraine formations and a lake system created by its gradual movement away from tidewater position.
