Great Penck Glacier was on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, on the west slope of the peak.[1] Extending from the Northern Ice Field, the glacier once flowed 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi), to an elevation of 4,750 metres (15,580 ft).[1] Between the years 1962 and 1975, Great Penck Glacier separated from the Northern Icefield and disappeared.[2]Drygalski Glacier once also existed to the north of Great Penck, while the same is true of the Little Penck Glacier, which was to the south.[2]
