The glacier is located in Kenai Fjords National Park , about 15 km northwest of Seward . Its drain is unnamed and flows into the Resurrection River , which flows to Resurrection Bay on the Gulf of Alaska .
The name has its origin in the "exit" ( English exit ) of the first recorded crossing of the Harding Icefield in 1968.
