The tongue of the Malaspina Glacier, one of the largest piedmont glaciers in the world, fills most of this image. The Malaspina lies west of Yakutat Bay in Alaska and covers roughly 3,900 sq km.

This image was acquired on August 31, 2000, by Landsat 7’s Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) sensor.
This is a false-color composite image made using infrared, near infrared, and green wavelengths, and has been sharpened using the sensor’s panchromatic band.
