Nature
Harvard Glacier is a large tidewater glacier in Alaska’s Prince William Sound that reaches the sea at College Fjord. About 1.5 miles wide and 300 feet thick, it covers roughly 120,000 acres within Chugach National Forest. As the second largest glacier in Prince William Sound after Columbia Glacier, it stands out as one of the area’s most prominent natural features. Its broad face calves ice directly into the water and regularly sheds icebergs, making it a notable sight in the landscape and a popular destination for sightseeing cruises seeking close views of its active front.
