Juneau Icefield, Ice field in British Columbia, Canada
The Juneau Icefield extends over 2,500 square kilometers between Lynn Canal and Taku River at the British Columbia-Alaska border.
The Juneau Icefield reached its maximum extent around 1700 and has been continuously monitored through scientific research programs since 1948.
The ice field has influenced local indigenous communities through generations, providing essential resources and shaping traditional ways of life.
Visitors can access the ice field through helicopter tours, which land on designated areas for guided walks across the glacial surface.
The Juneau Icefield feeds over 40 major valley glaciers, with ice thickness varying from 240 to 1,400 meters throughout the field.
