Childs Glacier


Childs Glacier ~ Chugach National Forest
Cordova, Alaska


Child's Glacier is the only actively calving glacier
on the Alaskan road system.


The perfect place to get comfortable, brew a pot
of coffee and spend the day.


The last few years have seen steady, spectacular
calving of ice from the glacier.


The Coast Guard on a training flight ~ It was very cool
to see them flying so low!


Childs Glacier is over 300 feet tall~!
