How many glaciers are in Alaska?
Matanuska Glacier is only one of the many glaciers in Alaska. In Fact, there are estimated to be over 100,000 glaciers covering over 10-12 percent of the state. Of those, there are around 664 named glaciers in AK. The majority of these glaciers are located in Southcentral Alaska, where they are a popular destination for tourists and adventurers. Glaciers are one of the most fascinating features of the natural world. These massive rivers of ice are slowly but surely reshaping the landscape, and their presence is a powerful reminder of the Earth's changing climate. Unfortunately, 95% of our glaciers are thinning or retreating, and many are disappearing altogether.

What is Alaska's biggest glacier?
Alaska is well-known for its glaciers, which are some of the largest in the world. The biggest glacier in Alaska is the Bering Glacier, which covers over 3,000 square miles. The Bering Glacier is so big that it is actually made up of two separate ice flows - the north flow and the south flow. The north flow is about twice the size of the south flow, and both flows come together at an ice tongue that extends into the Gulf of Alaska. The Bering Glacier is one of the most actively melting glaciers in Alaska, and it is thought that it will completely disappear within the next hundred years. Despite this, it remains an impressive site, and a visit to see the Bering Glacier is an unforgettable experience.
