Ha-Iltzuk Icefield

The Ha-Iltzuk Icefield is an icefield in the central Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. It is the largest icefield in the Coast Mountains south of the Alaska Panhandle, with an area of 3610 km². [http://www.bivouac.com/ArxPg.asp?ArxId=181 Bivouac.com - Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia] ] It is located on the west side of the Kliniklini River and the Waddington Range. The highest summit in the icefield is Mount Silverthrone, which is a mountain on the northeast edge of a circular, 20 km wide, deeply dissected caldera complex called the Silverthrone Caldera in the southern half of the icefield, which is named the Silverthrone Glacier and which flows west, joining the Klinaklini Glacier just above that glacier's terminus, where its outflow is the short but very large, and joins the Klinaklini River within a few kilometres. The Klinaklini Glacier constitutes the northern half of the icefield, and off its northwest edge a glacial tongue produces the head of the Machmell River. The name Ha-Iltzuk Icefield doest not appear in government gazettes.
