Silverthrone Glacier

Silverthrone Glacier is a large valley glacier in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia at the head of Knight Inlet. It is one of the two main outlet glaciers of the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, together with Klinaklini Glacier, and the two ice streams converge before flowing south toward the inlet. The glacier drains part of the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, which spans about 3,600 square kilometres and forms one of the central British Columbia coast’s major glaciated landscapes. Its name is also shared by nearby Silverthrone Mountain and the Silverthrone Caldera, tying it to a landscape shaped by both extensive ice and relatively recent volcanism.
