Muldrow Glacier, Valley glacier in Denali National Park, Alaska

The Muldrow Glacier extends for 39 miles from the northeastern slope of Denali mountain, flowing toward the McKinley River through a series of ice formations.

In 1902, Alfred Hulse Brooks named this glacier after Robert Muldrow, a topographer from the United States Geological Survey who mapped the region.

The Native Alaskans referred to this glacier by two traditional names: Henteel No' Loo' and Henteel No' Loot, preserving their connection to the landscape.

Scientists monitor the glacier using GPS stations, time-lapse cameras, and satellite imagery to track its movements and predict potential flooding events.

In 2021, the glacier entered a rare surge phase, moving at speeds up to 90 feet per day, which occurs approximately every 50 years.
