Summary
Alaska Glaciers. Chenega Glacier, which is on the Kenai Peninsula west of Chenega in the Chugach Mountains, viewed from the east side of Nassau Fiord. The view shows westward dipping beds and glaciated surfaces of the greywacke and slate of the Valdez group; the glacier discharging into the fiord; and the lack of timber, which has not had time to become established since the ice retreated from the bay. Figure 67, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 989-E. 1954.
