Eklutna Glacier is a land terminating glacier in Chugach State Park and the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage, Alaska.[1] Runoff from Eklutna Glacier contributes to Eklutna Lake, the main source of drinking water for the Anchorage community as well as hydroelectric power via the Eklutna Hydroelectric Project.[2][3] However, Eklutna Glacier is shrinking in response to climate change which will inevitably affect downstream water resources.[4] Eklutna Glacier is also known by the Dena'ina name: Idlu Bena Li'a.[5]
