Petersburg
Brief Directions
LeConte Glacier can be reached during the warmest summer months by traveling by boat into LeConte Glacier Bay south of Petersburg, AK via Frederick Sound.
Notes
Boat travel in the area is dangerous during winter months due to the ice formations created from calving that occurs where the glacier meets seawater as the icebergs float into LeConte Glacier Bay and out to sea.
Description
A large boat-size iceberg from LeConte Glacier, the Southernmost saltwater terminating glacier in North America, floats out into Frederick Sound as a heavy morning fog starts to lift.
