Muldrow Glacier

Muldrow Glacier, also called McKinley Glacier, is a large glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, with Native names including Henteel No' Loo' and Henteel No' Loot. Beginning at the Great Icefall of Harper Glacier on Denali’s eastern side, it flows generally east, receives the Traleika and Brooks glaciers, then bends north as it emerges from the Alaska Range and becomes the source of the McKinley River. Alfred Hulse Brooks gave it its present English name in 1902 for U.S. Geological Survey topographer Robert Muldrow. In 2021, it drew unusual scientific attention during a major surge, advancing up to 90 feet a day, about 100 times its normal rate.
