Tana Glacier is a 17-mile glacier in Alaska that begins at Bagley Icefield and flows northwest to its 1950 terminus near the head of the Tana River. Its name, of Alaska Native origin, was first recorded by prospectors in 1900. The glacier lies in a severe climate: even in August, its warmest month, average temperatures are around -2 °C, while January averages about -20 °C, underscoring the harsh conditions of this glaciated landscape.
