Logan Glacier (Alaska)

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Logan Glacier is a glacier spanning Alaska in the United States and the Yukon in Canada. It descends from the northern side of the Mount Logan massif in the Yukon and flows northwest across the Canada-United States border, where it forms the headwaters of the Chitina River. The glacier takes its name from its origin on the slopes of, and its proximity to, Mount Logan.
