Casement Glacier is a 14 miles (23 km) long glacier in the Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska (US).[3]
It was named in 1890 by Harry Fielding Reid in honour of R.L. Casement, member of Reid expedition on SS George W. Elder.[4] Back then Casement Glacier was first north tributary of Muir Glacier and not yet completely detached one.[5]
