As late as 1985, Columbia Glacier's reach was as far south as Heather Island. It has there left behind a (submerged) terminal moraine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine, located at the northern end of the island, which holds back the larger ice, as evidenced in this photograph.

Columbia Glacier has receded 9 miles since 1980
