Margerie Glacier is a tidewater glacier beginning on the southern slopes of Mount Root, elevation 12,860 feet, on the Alaska–Canada border flowing 21 miles southeast down the valley, then turning to the northeast toward its terminus in Tarr Inlet. To give the picture some scope and perspective, the width of the glacier is about 1 mile and the total height at its terminus is about 350 feet (including 100 feet that is underwater).
This shot is from our ship's Crow's Nest and we got to hear the "White Thunder" and see some icebergs calve into the ocean, which was inspiring.
