| History: | "Called ""Crillon Glacier"" by W. H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), in 1874 for Mount Crillon. At that time, Crillon Glacier was much more extensive and joined La Perouse Glacier near the latter's terminus. Since 1874 the Crillon Glacier has retreated, uncovering the valley now occupied by Crillon Lake. The glacier has dwindled to become two smaller glaciers; the one on the N, terminating in Crillon Inlet, is called North Crillon Glacier." |
