Nature
Peters Glacier is in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northern Alaska, at the eastern end of the Brooks Range. It lies on the west side of Mount Chamberlin, which rises to 8,901 feet and is among the tallest mountains in that part of the range. The glacier received its name in 1959 from the U.S. Air Force Cambridge Research Center. Its name was taken from nearby Lake Peters, connecting it to the broader landscape of one of Alaska’s most remote mountain regions.
