Information about Tracy Arm: It was named after a Civil War Hero. The front face is 100 feet high. The back is 200 feet high. The glacier goes all the way to the bottom. There is 400 to 700 feet of ice under the water. The total glacier height is up to 900 feet. The Glacier goes into Canada which is 7 miles away. The Glacier is 6 tenths of a mile width. There was lots of calving the day we saw it. When the ice hits the water, it makes a super loud noise. A large chunk also throws up a large wave which rocked our boat. The boat held about 30 people The blue color is super intense. Glaciel ice has a very unique color. The green water as we traveled to the glacier was great to see. We saw many waterfalls going to Tracy Arm.
