Guyot Glacier is a 34miles long and 8miles wide glacier located in the east end of the Robinson Mountains in the U.S. state of Alaska. It begins 5.6miles north of Yaga Peak and heads east-southeast to Icy Bay, south of the Guyot Hills and 73miles northwest of Yakutat. It borders Yahtse Glacier on the northeast. The glacier was named by the New York Times expedition of 1886 for Arnold Henry Guyot.[1]
