Nature
Crescent Glacier is a 5.5-mile-long glacier in Alaska on the east bank of College Fjord, about 55 miles west of Valdez. Flowing northwest into the fjord, it is one of the tidewater and valley glaciers that characterize this deeply glaciated inlet of Prince William Sound. Its recorded name dates to the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition, whose members named it while surveying the area. Crescent Glacier remains part of the striking ice-shaped landscape of College Fjord, known for the many named glaciers that descend from the surrounding mountains to the water.
