Casement Glacier

Casement Glacier is a glacier in Glacier Bay National Park in southeastern Alaska, extending about 14 miles through the Alsek Ranges from an upper ice field on the southern flank of the Takhinsha Mountains down to lower elevations. Its meltwater continues through an outflow to Adams Inlet on the eastern side of Muir Inlet, while near its head it borders Davidson Glacier, whose ice drains toward Lynn Canal. Harry Fielding Reid named it in 1890 for R. L. Casement, a member of his expedition aboard the SS George W. Elder. At that time, it was still the first northern tributary of Muir Glacier, showing how greatly Glacier Bay’s ice landscape has changed.
