The valley glacier located in the Tongass National Forest in the Boundary Ranges has a length of 12 km. The glacier's nutrient zone is at an altitude of 1200 m . Below the junction of its two source glaciers, the Eagle Glacier flows in a south-south-west direction and ends at a nameless lake at the edge of the glacier .
