Blackstone Glacier located in the west section of Prince William Sound. You have to take a boat to get to it; there are several convenient tours out of Whittier, Alaska.
This glacier is stable - it is neither advancing nor receding, which means that the same amount of ice is being created through annual snowfall as is melting/calving each year. Some glaciers, such as Exit Glacier just north of Seward, Alaska, have been receding for more than 2 centuries. Other Alaskan glaciers are advancing. My personal scientific conclusion - you can't draw any global warming conclusion from glacier evidence.
