Kluane Glacier (Source:http://www.jovial.on. Toe of Kluane Glacier is several hundred feet ca/vica/Arctic/Kluane/Kluane1.html) high. The darkness of the ice represents the dirt and gravel that is taken up as the glacier moves downstream. (Source:http://www.jovial.on.ca

Glacier Behaviour: The glacier moves relatively slowly, however, once in a while, one may surge serveral kilometres in a single season (http://www.jovial.on.ca/vica/Arctic/Kluane/Kluane1.html, 2007).

Glacier Characteristics: The frontal lobe characteristic is expanded and snow is the major source feeding the glacier (GSC, 2003)

Type: This is a valley glacier (GSC, 2003)

Length: The Kluane Glacier stretches 24-32km towards the icefields

Volume/Mass: The Kluane Glacier covers an area of 59.54km2 (GSC, 2003)

Note: Very limited information.
