Exit Glacier

Exit Glacier is a well-known glacier located in Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. It is an actively retreating glacier, meaning it slowly melts and shrinks over time. Visitors can observe its dynamic surface, which features crevasses and ice formations, and often see the glacier's front extending onto land. As it melts, it reveals the landscape's changing shape, offering insights into climate change and glacier behavior. The glacier is accessible by hike, making it a popular site for education and appreciation of natural glacial processes in a relatively accessible setting.
