The Glacier River is a river 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Whittier near the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.[1] It rises in a remote valley from a glacial meltwater lake from Twentymile glacier and flows out into a large, wide valley where it receives the water of the Carmen River. The river ends abruptly after 6.5 miles (10.5 km) as it is joined by the Twentymile River.[2] It was named by Captain E. F. Glenn in 1898.[3]
