South Sawyer Glacier - Alaska - Glaciers on Waymarking.com

The twin Sawyer Glaciers, North Sawyer and South Sawyer, are located at the end of Tracy Arm.
South Sawyer Glacier is viewable from cruise ships. (The North Sawyer Glacier is hidden up a side arm.) The face of South Sawyer stretches a third of a mile. The glacier is retreating.
Tracy Arm Fjord is completely protected within the Tongass National Forest. This fjord stretches some 25 miles up into the Coastal Range Mountains.
Framed by 7000-foot-high snowcapped mountains which drop immediately to sea level, the area is surrounded by sheer 1500- to 2000-foot walls of granite falling into the extremely narrow passage, creating countless waterfalls and strange rock formations covered in forest.
