Glaciers of Alaska and Yukon

This child group collects Glaciers of North America members located in Alaska and the Yukon, including tidewater and valley glaciers flowing from the Saint Elias Mountains, the Juneau Icefield, Kluane National Park and Reserve, and the ranges straddling the Alaska-Yukon border. This subarctic coastal and mountain zone holds the largest concentration of named glaciers anywhere in North America outside Greenland, fed by heavy Pacific snowfall on some of the continent's highest coastal peaks, which is why it is the largest of this parent group's regional child groups.
