The Endicott Arm, where Dawes Glacier is located, is a part of the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness. In a spectacular process known as calving, it routinely releases huge chunks of ice into the waters below. Different-sized icebergs float on the shimmering summer ocean. There are two active tidewater glaciers at the end of two beautiful deep-water fjords. Sawyer Glacier is located in Tracy Arm Fjord, and Dawes Glacie is located in Endicott Arm. Both the Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm fjords and glaciers are easily accessible from cruise ships. Thanks to their proximity to the mouth of Stephens Passage, they are easily accessible by all ship sizes. In the summer, you can go on day trips aboard small vessels every day.
