view of the Tarr Inlet. Two miles north of this location is the Margerie Glacier. Grand Pacific Glacier is located to the east side of the Margerie Glacier at the head of the Tarr Inlet where extensive gravel outwash is seen. From Grand Pacific, the Tarr Inlet continues for with steep gravel shore line interspersed with minor streams separated by gravel outwash. Margerie Glacier The Margerie Glacier is a long tide water glacier that begins on the south slope of Mount Root, at the Alaska-Canada border in the Fairweather Range (elevation above ), and flows southeast and northeast to Tarr Inlet, one mile (1.6 km) north of the terminus of Grand Pacific Glacier and northwest of Hoonah. It was named for famed French geographer and geologist Emmanuel de Margerie (1862–1953), who visited Glacier Bay in 1913. Located at the deep end of the Glacier Bay, Margerie Glacier extends over a width of about and extends upstream for a length of till its source on the southern slopes of the hill of Mount Root, at the Alaska-Canada border. Mount Root (elevation ), named Boundary Peak 165, is a mountain in Alaska and British Columbia, is part of the Fairweather Range of the Saint Elias Mountains. Grand Pacific Glacier The Grand Pacific Glacier, at the head of the Tarr Inlet on the north, has a streaked face covered with gravel and stones (more than ) thick in many areas). Landslides and medial moraines cover much of eastern side of the glacier extending to about two-thirds width of the ice face. It is not an active glacier. In the earlier 18th century, it was a one single block of ice at the Gulf of Alaska, when Captain Vancouver first saw it, which has receded to the present location that is ) from the Glacier Bay inlet. At the present site, Grand Pacific Glacier has a width of ) with a water depth of ) and with an average height of ) and stretches to ). It calves into the Tarr Inlet and its western two thirds part is formed by the tributary Ferris Glacier. Its flow rate is reported to be about ) per year or about ) per day. However, the eastern part of the Glacier is reportedly moving at the rate of about ) per year. Margerie Glacier had merged with this glacier in 1992. As the glacier started receding it
