Bering Glacier

This Overview shows the terminus of Bering Glacier at Vitus Lake in southeastern Alaska. Combined with the Bagley Icefield, where the snow that feeds the glacier accumulates, Bering is the largest glacier in North America. Both the glacier and Vitus Lake are named after Vitus Bering, an 18th century cartographer and explorer who led expeditions along the Arctic coast of Siberia and North America.
