| The Meares Glacier is a large tidewater glacier at the head of Unakwik Inlet in Chugach National Forest, Alaska. The glacier is one of the many in Prince William Sound, and is about 79.6 miles east of Anchorage. The glacier is named for eighteenth century British naval captain John Meares. The face of the glacier you see below is one mile wide where it calves into the inlet. | |
