Tracy Arm

During the summer, the fjords have considerable floating ice ranging from hand-sized to pieces as large as a three-story building.

The most common access is by boat using Stephens Passage and entering Holkham Bay and Tracy and Endicott Arms.

[1] The wildlife in the area includes black and brown bears, deer, wolves, harbor seals, and a variety of birds, such as Arctic terns and pigeon guillemots.

The mountain goats, which are usually found in the higher elevation areas, have been seen near the base of Sawyer Glacier.

[2][3] The deep passageways and thin continental shelf leads to unique connections between offshore and inshore waters.
