The Llewellyn Glacier is a glacier located in British Columbia and Alaska. It is the second-largest glacier in the Juneau Icefield. The glacier has rapidly retreated as of recent, and on June 6, 2018, a large kilometre-sized chunk of the narrow tongue of the glacier broke off and plunged into Atlin Lake.{{cite news |title='Huge chunks' of ice afloat in northern B.C. lake, as glacier retreats |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/llewellyn-glacier-retreat-ice-1.4693128 |accessdate=25 February 2020 |agency=CBC News |publisher=CBC/Radio-Canada |date=June 6, 2018}}
