Nature
Tustumena Glacier on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula flows west from the Harding Icefield for about 20 miles and ends roughly 5 miles short of Tustumena Lake. Beside it lies Arctic Lake, whose outflow runs beneath the ice. As the glacier shifts, the lake can periodically fill and then drain, sometimes leaving icebergs stranded on the sand. Like many glaciers in the region, Tustumena Glacier is retreating. Its name also lives on in the Alaska Marine Highway ferry M/V Tustumena.
