Stikine Icecap

The Stikine Icecap, also called the Stikine Icefield, is a large icefield in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, straddling the Alaska Panhandle and the border between Alaska and British Columbia. On the United States side much of it lies within Tongass National Forest and the Stikine LeConte Wilderness. It feeds the Taku River, which forms its northern edge, and the Stikine River, which forms its southern edge, and it is the parent icefield of glaciers including LeConte and Sawyer on the American side and Great Glacier on the Canadian side. The region is known for technically demanding granite peaks such as Devils Thumb and Burkett Needle, often compared to Patagonia.
