Nature
Tsirku Glacier is a large icefield in the Saint Elias Mountains that spans the border between British Columbia and Alaska. South of Jarvis Glacier, it feeds the Tsirku River, which flows northwest and becomes the second-largest tributary of the Chilkat River. Its name comes from the Tlingit language and was first published by both the United States and Canada in 1923. Geographic records place the glacier’s head at about 59°17′00″N 136°47′00″W and note that the ice crosses the Canada–US border about one mile west of the head of the Tsirku River.
