Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, Glacier in Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada.
The Ha-Iltzuk Icefield spans 3,610 square kilometers across the Pacific Ranges, featuring the Silverthrone Glacier and Klinaklini Glacier flowing toward Knight Inlet.
Since 1984, satellite monitoring has documented the retreat of the Klinaklini Glacier by more than 5 kilometers, forming a new lake at its terminus.
The name derives from the Heiltsuk language, reflecting the deep connection between First Nations communities and this mountainous landscape.
The icefield, positioned at 51.4167° N and -125.917° W, requires specialized mountaineering equipment and professional guidance for safe exploration.
Mount Silverthrone rises from the northeast edge of a circular caldera complex within the icefield, marking the highest point of this glacial formation.
