The Lillooet Icecap, also called the Lillooet Icefield or the Lillooet Crown, is a large icefield in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is about 90 km (56 mi) northwest of the towns of Pemberton and Whistler, and about 175 km (109 mi) north of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Lillooet Icecap is one of the largest of several large icefields in the Pacific Ranges which are the largest temperate-latitude glacial fields in the world. At its maximum extent including its glacial tongues it measures 30 km (19 mi) east to west and 20 km (12 mi) north to south; its central icefield area is approximately 15 km (9 mi) in diameter.

  • El casquete glaciar de Lillooet, también llamado campo de hielo de Lillooet o corona de Lillooet, es un gran campo de hielo de Canadá localizado en las montañas del Pacífico de las montañas Costeras, en el suroeste de la Columbia Británica. Está a unos 90 km al noroeste de las ciudades de Pemberton y Whistler, y a unos 175 km al norte de Vancouver.​ El casquete polar de Lillooet es uno de los mayores campos de hielo de la cordillera del Pacífico, que tiene los mayores campos glaciares de latitudes templadas del mundo. En su máxima extensión, incluidas sus lenguas glaciares, mide 30 km de este a oeste y 20 km de norte a sur; la zona central del campo de hielo tiene aproximadamente 15 km de diámetro. (es)

  • El casquete glaciar de Lillooet, también llamado campo de hielo de Lillooet o corona de Lillooet, es un gran campo de hielo de Canadá localizado en las montañas del Pacífico de las montañas Costeras, en el suroeste de la Columbia Británica. Está a unos 90 km al noroeste de las ciudades de Pemberton y Whistler, y a unos 175 km al norte de Vancouver.​ El casquete polar de Lillooet es uno de los mayores campos de hielo de la cordillera del Pacífico, que tiene los mayores campos glaciares de latitudes templadas del mundo. En su máxima extensión, incluidas sus lenguas glaciares, mide 30 km de este a oeste y 20 km de norte a sur; la zona central del campo de hielo tiene aproximadamente 15 km de diámetro. El casquete polar de Lillooet es la fuente de varios ríos importantes que salen de él en forma de rueda: * en el flanco sur, el río Lillooet, que se alimenta del glaciar Lillooet y corre hacia el sureste a través de Pemberton hasta el lago Harrison; * en el flanco oriental, el río Bridge, que se alimenta del glaciar Bridge y corre hacia el este hasta la ciudad de Lillooet; * en el lado norte, el (un afluente del río Chilcotin), los ríos Lord y Tchaikazan (afluentes del Taseko) y el río Edmond, que alimenta el lago Chilko, la fuente del río Chilko, que al igual que el Taseko es un afluente del río Chilcotin. * en el lado oeste, las fuentes del , que desemboca en el puerto de Waddington, en la cabecera de la ensenada de Bute, y que comparte un delta común con el río Homathko, y el río Toba, que desemboca en el Toba Inlet. La divisoria entre los ríos Lillooet y Southgate se encuentra en el flanco suroeste del campo de hielo y recibe el nombre de Ring Pass. Se investigó para trazar por él una posible ruta del ferrocarril Canadian Pacific, pero el grupo de reconocimiento dirigido por Stanley Smith se perdió y nunca se le volvió a encontrar. El glaciar Stanley Smith y el glaciar Frank Smith, situados en la zona central del casquete polar de Lillooet, honran su memoria. Al suroeste del Ring Pass se encuentra el , otro gran casquete glaciar. El casquete polar de Lillooet y el Compton Névé forman una masa de hielo contigua, pero debido a que son dos macizos distintos de menor altitud y movimiento glaciar activo en Ring Pass se han considerado habitualmente como separados.

  • The Lillooet Icecap, also called the Lillooet Icefield or the Lillooet Crown, is a large icefield in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is about 90 km (56 mi) northwest of the towns of Pemberton and Whistler, and about 175 km (109 mi) north of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Lillooet Icecap is one of the largest of several large icefields in the Pacific Ranges which are the largest temperate-latitude glacial fields in the world. At its maximum extent including its glacial tongues it measures 30 km (19 mi) east to west and 20 km (12 mi) north to south; its central icefield area is approximately 15 km (9 mi) in diameter. The Lillooet Icecap is the source of several major rivers which radiate out from it in a wheel pattern. The Lillooet River is fed by the Lillooet Glacier on the icefield's southern flank and runs southeast via Pemberton to Harrison Lake. The Bridge River is fed by the Bridge Glacier on the icefield's eastern flank and runs east to the town of Lillooet. On the icefield's north side are the Taseko River (a tributary of the Chilcotin River), the Lord and Tchaikazan Rivers (tributaries of the Taseko), and the which feeds Chilko Lake, the source of the Chilko River, which like the Taseko is a tributary of the Chilcotin River. On the west side of the icecap are the sources of the Southgate River runs to Waddington Harbour at the head of Bute Inlet and shares a common delta with the Homathko River, and the Toba River, which runs to Toba Inlet. The divide between the Lillooet and Southgate Rivers is on the southwestern flank of the icefield and is named . This was investigated for a possible route for the Canadian Pacific Railway but the survey party led by was lost and never found. The and in the central area of the Lillooet Icecap are named in their memory. Southwest of Ring Pass is the Compton Névé, another large icecap. The Lillooet Icecap and Compton Névé form one contiguous icemass, but because they are two distinct massifs of the lower elevation and active glacial movement in Ring Pass they have been customarily considered to be separate.
