Cantwell Glacier is a glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. The 3-mile (4.8 km) long glacier originates from the crest of the Alaska Range in the eastern part of the park, giving rise to Cantwell Creek.[1][2][3] Cantwell Glacier and Cantwell Creek are named for Yukon Valley explorer John C. Cantwell.[4]
