Peters Glacier, Valley glacier in Denali National Park, Alaska.
Peters Glacier extends from Peters Basin icefield through a deep valley north of Denali's Wickersham Wall, between Denali and Peters Dome.
A.H. Brooks named the glacier after William John Peters, a U.S. Geological Survey topographer who conducted Alaskan surveys from 1898 to 1902.
The glacier, known as Hudeetsedle Toyaane' in native language, represents the traditional connection between local communities and the Alaskan landscape.
Visitors require specialized equipment and guidance to explore the glacier, which sits at approximately 4,803 feet above sea level.
The glacier merges with Jeffery Glacier at Tluna Icefall and functions as the source of the Muddy River in the Alaska Range.
