<p>Der <b>LeConte-Gletscher</b> ist ein 35&nbsp;km langer <a href="Gletscher" title="Gletscher">Gletscher</a> im <a href="Tongass_National_Forest" title="Tongass National Forest">Tongass National Forest</a> im <a href="Alaska_Panhandle" title="Alaska Panhandle">Panhandle</a> von <a href="Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a> (USA). Benannt wurde der Gletscher 1887 von Kapitänleutnant C. M.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geografie">Geografie</h2></div>
<p>Das Nährgebiet des LeConte-Gletschers befindet sich südöstlich des <a href="Devils_Thumb_(Coast_Mountains)" title="Devils Thumb (Coast Mountains)">Devils Thumb</a> in den <a href="Coast_Mountains" title="Coast Mountains">Coast Mountains</a> im Süden der <a href="Stikine_Icecap" title="Stikine Icecap">Stikine Icecap</a>. Von dort strömt er 35&nbsp;km in überwiegend südsüdwestlicher Richtung. Er mündet schließlich 32&nbsp;km östlich von <a href="Petersburg_(Alaska)" title="Petersburg (Alaska)">Petersburg</a> in das hintere Ende der <a href="LeConte_Bay" title="LeConte Bay">LeConte Bay</a>, einer Bucht des <a href="Frederick_Sound" title="Frederick Sound">Frederick Sound</a>.
</p><p>Der LeConte-Gletscher ist der südlichste Gletscher der <a href="Nordhalbkugel" title="Nordhalbkugel">nördlichen Hemisphäre</a>, der in ein Meer mündet. Seit der ersten Aufzeichnung im Jahr 1887 hat sich der Gletscher um rund 4&nbsp;km <a href="Gletscherschmelze" class="mw-redirect" title="Gletscherschmelze">zurückgezogen</a>. Heute wird seine Größe als stabil angenommen.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
