The McCarty Glacier is a tidewater
glacier located in the
Harding Icefield in the
Kenai Mountains of the
Kenai Peninsula,
Alaska.
The glacier is named for William McCarty, a former resident of
Seward.
The glacier has been severely affected by
global warming and since the early 1900s its terminus has receded 15 km from the mouth of the bay.
