Holgate Glacier flows outward from the Harding Icefield toward Holgate Arm of Aialik Bay. Some say it is the most gorgeous glacier in all of the Kenai Fjords National Park. It is a designated as a tidewater/mountain type of glacier.

As you approach, you will be in awe at the grandeur of Holgate Glacier. It is one of the smaller glaciers in the park, but it is continually calving and always a great stop on a glacier tour.

The scene is surprisingly peaceful and quiet, with the constant crash of ice chunks falling into the sea in a process called “glacial calving”. The glacier continually loses snow into the ocean.

The deep sapphire blue of this long standing glacier peeks through the fingers and peaks of the face. There are so many variations in the face of this giant glacier, you will be fascinated the whole time.
