Tustumena Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Tustumena Glacier is a retreating glacier on Alaska Kenai Peninsula that flows about 20 miles southwest from the Harding Icefield, ending in a glacial lake roughly 5 miles short of Tustumena Lake. Alongside it lies Arctic Lake, which periodically fills and drains as the glacier shifts, stranding icebergs in the exposed sand. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry M/V Tustumena is named for the glacier.
