Hawkins Glacier

Nature
Hawkins Glacier is a thirty-five-kilometre-long glacier in Alaska that extends southwest from Mount Bona to its terminus at the Chitina River. West of Barnard Glacier and about sixty kilometres southeast of McCarthy, it lies within the glacier-filled country surrounding one of Alaska’s major peaks. It forms part of the broad ice-shaped landscape that carries runoff from the high mountains down toward the Chitina Valley. Its importance is mainly geographic, as one of the named glaciers flowing from the Mount Bona area into the river system below.
