Malaspina Glacier from space. Alaska, USA.
- Description: MALASPINA GLACIER, ALASKA (STS066-117-014). Malaspina Glacier can be seen in this north-northeastern photograph taken in figure 12. The glacier, located in the south shore of Alaska is a classic example of a piedmont glacier lying along the foot of a mountain range. The principal source of ice for the glacier is provided by the Seward Ice Field to the north (top portion of the view) which flows through three narrow outlets onto the coastal plain. The glacier moves in surges that rush earlier-formed moraines outward into the expanding concentric patterns along the flanks of the ice mass.
