Reid Glacier in Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park
Reid Glacier in Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park is an 11-mile long tidewater/terrestrial glacier. It is about ¾ mile wide, 150 feet high and 10 to 30 feet deep at the waterline. It originates in the Brady Icefield. It is located on the Reid Inlet (fjord).
Only the glacier's central area with its blue ice is affected by high tides (tidewater) where calving may occur. The sides of the glacier are landlocked and are terrestrial.
