Nature
Yahtse Glacier is a glacier in southern Alaska about 40 miles long, flowing from the southeast slope of Mount Miller toward Icy Bay. It runs along the north side of Guyot Glacier and reaches the coast just east of the Guyot Hills, about 70 miles northwest of Yakutat. Its western end forms part of an icefield. The glacier takes its present name from the Yahtse River, a name adopted after the retreat of Guyot Glacier left this ice as a separate branch and established Yahtse Glacier as a distinct feature.
