Klinaklini Glacier, Massive glacier in Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada.
The Klinaklini Glacier flows southward from Mount Silverthrone, forming a 5-kilometer-long proglacial lake at its terminus with floating icebergs.
Satellite observations from 1984 to 2023 documented the glacier's retreat of more than 5 kilometers northward, while its main stem thinned by 200 meters.
The glacier's name originates from the Kwak'wala word for eulachon grease, referring to a fish important to First Nation communities.
The Hakai Institute maintains a weather station above the glacier, collecting real-time data for scientists studying climate patterns and glacial changes.
Meltwater from Klinaklini feeds into Knight Inlet through the Klinaklini River, providing essential cool water that supports salmon populations during dry periods.
