The Aialik Glacier is a seven-kilometer-long glacier fed by the Harding Icefield on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska .
The glacier is located 25 km southwest of Seward in Kenai Fjords National Park and flows into Aialik Bay , a bay in the Gulf of Alaska , west of Resurrection Bay . The Aialik is flanked by the Skee Glacier in the north and the Addison Glacier in the south. In contrast to many other glaciers, it has hardly lost any of its mass over the past hundred years.
