IFTEII CHIEF EIECOTI
Harding Glacier, a huge ice pack,
ninety miles long and forty miles in
width, extending from Seward to Sel
dovia, has been named the Harding
Glacier, in honor of the visit of our
nation’s chief executive. In view oi
the visit of President Harding, Sew
ard citizens have given his name to
the huge ice pack, believed to be one
of the largest in existence, and a j
remnant of the glacial period when the
ice cap covered the northern part of
the Western hemisphere.
Innumerable large and small gla
ciers radiate from the main pack into
the ocean. The pack extends west and
southwest from Seward and can be
reached by way of Lowell creek, by
an auto road not exceeding tour
miles in length where machines could
drive directly upon the ice field. A
more feasible route at the present
1 time is to go down the beach a half
mile to Spruce creek, thence up the
creek to Harding glacier, a mush for
an Alaskan of about three hours. The
trail is brushed out good and it is an
easy climb.
It is the hope of the people of Sew
ard that the President himself will
at some future time step foot on the
ice field which bears his name. At any
rate for ages to come it will perpetuate
' the visit of our President.
