Day Two, task one. Portage Glacier. A name first recorded in 1898 by Thomas Corwin Mendenhall of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, so called because it is on a portage route between Prince William Sound and Turnagain Arm. Hundreds of years ago the glacier filled the entire Portage Valley (14 miles), and was connected to what are now five separate glaciers. It is currently 6 miles long and has its terminus at a glacial lake, self created.
