Lamplugh Glacier
Lamplugh Glacier is an 8-mile-long glacier located in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. It leads north to its 1961 terminus in Johns Hopkins Inlet, 1.4 miles west of Ptarmigan Creek and 76 miles northwest of Hoonah. The glacier was named by Lawrence Martin of the U.S. Geological Survey around 1912 for English geologist George William Lamplugh, who visited Glacier Bay in 1884.
On 28 June 2016, a mountainside collapsed onto Lamplugh Glacier, causing a landslide with a volume of between that dropped of rock and debris onto the glacier. The landslide left a long debris field on the glacier's surface.
