LeConte’ Glacier Survey
The LeConte’ Glacier Survey was started by Instructor Paul Bowen in 1983. Since that time there has been a yearly survey to locate the terminus. The survey has been conducted by high school students, and then posted to inform the public.
“LeConte Glacier is within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness on the Tongass National Forest. The student's glacier survey activities are authorized by a Forest Service special use permit. All use fees for the permit have been waived by the Regional Forester in support of the school activity.”
