I plotted a highly inaccurate track from my home in Friday Harbor to Glacier Bay. My track was comprised of straight lines thru both the islands and the inside passage. Obviously a substantial amount of winding thru these passages would be necessary. I came up with 790nm. I good ballpark figure from Seattle is probably around 1100nm.

What else can I help you with?
What is the distance by water from Miami to Seattle?
5,143 nautical miles
What is the distance of water in seattle?
It was the same as Oregon. 380 feet!
What is a tide water glacier?
A tidewater glacier is a glacier that flows down into the ocean or a body of water. These glaciers calve, or release icebergs, into the water, causing a dynamic interaction between the glacier and the ocean.
Is a glacier a waterbody?
A glacier is a water reservoir and is not considered a water body.
What is melting water at base of the glacier that helps the ice move over land?
The melted water at the base of a glacier acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the ice and the land beneath it. This helps the glacier slide over the land more easily, contributing to the movement of the glacier.
What makes a glacier slippery?
Glaciers are slippery due to a layer of surface ice that melts slightly under pressure from the weight of the ice above. This thin layer of water reduces friction between the glacier and the underlying rock or soil, making it easier for the glacier to flow or slide.
Is water from a glacier more dense than ocean water?
The water from a melted glacier is less dense than the water of the seas.
What is the term for the distance between two crests if the water waves?
The term for the distance between two crests of water waves is wavelength.
Write two differences between glacier and river?
Three Important Differences Between Glacier and River are as follows:Glacier1. The moving heap of snow and ice is called glacier.2. Glacier is found either on snow-capped mountains or in higher latitudes.3. Examples: Pindari glacier, Siachen glacier etc.River1. Running water is called river.2. Rivers are found from mountain tops to the mouth of oceans and from equator to poles.3. The Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra.
Why is ice in a glacier consider to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.
Is water from glaciers drinkable?
The water from glaciers is drinkable. When drinking glacier water, the water must be filtrated first. Filtration of glacier water can be done with a coffee filter.
What is the term for the distance between two crests of a water wave is the?
The term for the distance between two crests of a water wave is called the wavelength.
