Nature
Tokositna Glacier lies in Alaska’s Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve. Beginning in two major arms on the east side of Mount Hunter, it flows east until the arms merge and then turns south. The glacier is the source of the Tokositna River. It has also been known by the names Tokasitna Glacier, Tokichitna Glacier, and Tuqashitnu Li'a. National Park Service monitoring has found that its thickness has steadily decreased since the 1990s, making it notable both as a source river glacier and as an example of long-term thinning.
