The Tittmann Glacier is a 12 km valley glacier in the Elias range in Alaska ( USA ). The glacier was named after Otto Hilgard Tittmann (1850-1938), a German-American geodesist, geographer and astronomer and co-founder of the National Geographic Society in 1888.
The Tittmann Glacier forms a right tributary glacier of the Anderson Glacier . It has two source glaciers. The southern one has its nutrient area on the northern flank of Mount Tittmann at an altitude of about 2700 m . Below the union of the source glaciers, the Tittmann glacier flows another 5 km in a south-easterly direction before it meets the Anderson glacier at an altitude of about 1500 m . The catchment area of the Tittmann Glacier covers 95 km².
