Kanikula Glacier., also known as Little Tokositna Glacier, is an 11-mile (18 km) long glacier in the Alaska Range of Denali National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. The glacier originates in a series of glacial amphitheaters in the south side of the range, moving southeast past Mount Goldie and ending before the valley of Tokositna Glacier.[1] Variant forms and spellings of the name include K'enik'ela Li'a, Kahnicula Glacier, Kanicula Glacier and Little Tokasitna Glacier.[2]
