Tustemena Glacier, and its outflow into Tustemena Lake

A small lake called Arctic Lake sits alongside Tustumena Glacier, with its outflow underneath the ice. This lake periodically fills up and then drains as the glacier moves, leaving icebergs stranded in the sand.

The Alaska Marine Highway ferry M/V Tustumena derives its name from this glacier.
