The Juneau Icefield is a geological icefield located just north and east of Juneau, Alaska and continues north to the Skagway, Alaska area. Current research of Climate Change in the field of Glaciology relies upon comparison of historical glacier mass-balance to current conditions.
Locational map of major features of the Alaska Panhandle area including the Juneau Icefield in the northern portion. Eight kilometers to the north, the Herbert Glacier has retreated 540 m (0.34 mi), while Eagle Glacier retreated 700 m (0.43 mi), Gilkey Glacier 3,500 m (2.2 mi) and Llewellyn Glacier 2,800 m (1.7 mi).
Exit Glacier, Alaska. Glaciers are located in ten states, with the vast majority in Alaska. [1] The southernmost named glacier is the Lilliput Glacier in Tulare County, east of the Central Valley of California. Apart from Alaska, around 1330 glaciers, 1175 perennial snow fields, and 35 buried-ice features have been identified. [2] [3
Bering Glacier is a glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska. It currently terminates in Vitus Lake south of Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park , about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Gulf of Alaska . Combined with the Bagley Icefield , where the snow that feeds the glacier accumulates, the Bering is the largest glacier in North America .
A National Park Service report on Alaska's glaciers noted glaciers within Alaska national parks shrank 8% between the 1950s and early 2000s and glacier-covered area across the state decreased by ...
Animated map of the extent of the glaciers of the Carstens Range from 1850 to 2003. No glaciers remain on the Australia mainland or Tasmania. A few, like the Heard Island glaciers are located in the territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the southern Indian Ocean. New Guinea has the Puncak Jaya glacier.

The rapid retreat of the Cordilleran ice sheet is a focus of study by glaciologists seeking to understand the difference in patterns of melting in marine-terminating glaciers, glaciers whose margin extends into open water without seafloor contact, and land-terminating glaciers, with a land or seafloor margin, as scientists believe the western ...
