Homathko Icefield, Ice field in Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada.
The Homathko Icefield covers an area of 2,000 square kilometers between Chilko Lake and Homathko River in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
The formation received its current name in 1976, replacing the previous designation of Homathko Snowfield established by Canadian Alpine Journals in 1950.
Several peaks within the icefield carry names of Elizabethan figures, including Burghley Peak, Howard Peak, and Walsingham Peak, reflecting British Columbia's colonial heritage.
Access to the icefield requires specialized mountaineering equipment and experience, with base operations typically conducted from Homathko Camp north of Bute Inlet.
The icefield stands out among Coast Mountains formations for its extensive flat surface without major peaks, contrasting with neighboring mountainous terrains.
