The Portage Glacier (60º45´11"N 148º47´08"W) is located on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, and trends north to Portage Lake, 6 km (4 mi) west of Whittier, Chugach Mountains.
A local name reported in 1898 by Mendenhall of the USGS. So called because it is on a portage route between Prince William Sound and Turnagain Arm.
