Comox Glacier, Alpine glacier in Vancouver Island Ranges, Canada.
The Comox Glacier rises to 1960 meters above sea level, forming a prominent white mass in the Vancouver Island mountain landscape.
The name change from Dome Glacier to Comox Glacier occurred in 1939 following a suggestion from the Comox & District Mountaineering Club.
The K'ómoks First Nation named the mountain Kwénis, meaning whale, based on their traditional story of a whale stranded during a great flood.
Visitors require permission to access the trailhead through private logging roads, with strict gate closing times at 6 PM each day.
The glacier maintains two distinct access routes: the Comox Glacier Trail via Century Sam Lake and the Kookjai Route through Cougar Lake.
