Barnard Glacier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barnard Glacier is a 53-km-long (33 mi) glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska. It trends southwest to the Chitina River east of Hawkins Glacier, 64 km (40 mi) southeast of McCarthy in the Saint Elias Mountains. The glacier is named for United States Geological Survey surveyor Edward Chester Barnard (1863–1921), Commissioner for the United States for the defining and marking of the boundary between Alaska and Canada.
