Nature
Fairweather Glacier is a 19-mile glacier in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in southeastern Alaska. Beginning on the west slope of Mount Salisbury, it flows west to a terminus that in 1961 lay about 0.2 miles east of Cape Fairweather, around 100 miles northwest of Hoonah. Its name is also used for the Alaska Marine Highway fast ferry MV Fairweather, underscoring the regional importance of Cape Fairweather and the nearby coast. Within the park, the glacier is one of many ice formations that shape a remote landscape of mountains, ice, and shoreline.
