Clark Glacier

Clark Glacier is an eight-mile glacier on Mount Abbe in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in southeastern Alaska. It flows northwest to its 1961 terminus at the head of Johns Hopkins Inlet, about seventy-eight miles northwest of Hoonah. In 1936, W. O. Field and W. S. Cooper named it for William Bullock Clark, a Johns Hopkins University geology professor who lived from 1860 to 1917. Its location in Glacier Bay places it within one of Alaska’s most noted glacial landscapes, where ice, mountains, and tidewater inlets shape the region’s character.
