Dartmouth Glacier is a 3.4-mile-long glacier in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, southwest of Mount Castner. It stretches to its terminus at the head of the Coghill River, about 47 miles west of Valdez. The name was reported in 1908 by Grant and Higgins of the U.S. Geological Survey and is presumed to honor Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. It remains one of the many mountain glaciers that shape the high country of south-central Alaska.
