Transcribed from item: Wood Glacier - southern terminus in Wood Lake - U.S. Navy 1929. Negative Y-342-7(A). Cataloguer's note: Coordinates and Spatial Coverage are given for Geikie Glacier based on the following USGS GNIS citation: "When H. F. Reid visited Glacier Bay in 1892 he found that the Geidie Glacier of John Muir had retreated so far That it had become two smaller glaciers. He retained the name "Geikie" for the more northerly of the two, and called the other "Wood Glacier" (Reid, 1896, p. 428). Wood Glacier has now disappeared." Citation: Orth, Donald J. Dictionary of Alaska Place Names. Washington, DC: GPO, 1967. This work is an alphabetical list of the geographic names generally including feature descriptions and often name origin information that are now applied and have been applied to places and features in Alaska.
