Geospatial Summary of the Research and Recreational facilities within the Juneau Icefield area

The Juneau Icefield Research and Recreational facilities provide educational and expeditionary experience to students, as well as campsites for recreational purposes. The facilities are managed by the Juneau Icefield Research Program and many are closed to the public.

Juneau Icefield Research Camp Facilities The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) and its parent organization, the Foundation for Glacier and Environmental Research (FGER), maintains several research facilities around the expanse of the Juneau Icefield for the purpose of providing educational and expeditionary experience to students with training in Earth sciences, wilderness survival, and mountaineering skills. These camps are private facilities and are operated in accordance with a U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit, which stipulates that the facilities can be used only for educational and research purposes by the Juneau Icefield Research Program. Thus all non-JIRP related visitation and use of these camps is prohibited. +FFGR/JIRP Research Facilities Summary Facility Established Reference CT Peak Remarks C-4 19XX Camp-4 Peak Location Approximate C-8 195X Mount Moore Major JIRP Facility C-9 19XX on upper Matthes Glacier C-9B 19XX Abandoned, location approx., all structures removed C-10 195X Vantage Peak Major JIRP Facility C-10B 195X N/A Virtual Camp, Ski-plane landing area C-12 19XX Lower Goat Ridge, abandoned, all structures removed C-13 19XX Split Thumb Location approximate, abandoned, all structures removed C-14 19XX Location approximate, abandoned, all structures removed C-15 19XX Camp-15 Peak Abandoned, all structures removed C-16 195X Abandoned, all structures removed C-17 1953 Cairn Peak Major JIRP Facility C-17A 196X At the end of the Lemon Creek Trail C-18 19XX Major JIRP Facility C-18B 19XX on lower Vaughan Lewis Glacier C-19 19XX Watchamacallit Glacier in the Gilkey Canyon near site 18B C-25 19XX Mount Nesselrode C-26 197X On a nunatak on the north side of the Llewellyn Glacier C-29 19XX On Cathedral Glacier Massif, west of Torres Channel C-29B 19XX N/A At timberline and in alpine tundra zone near Cathedral Glacier terminus C-30 1968 N/A Atlin, British Columbia Notes
