Uh, I'm not so sure about this:
Nix, nay, not, zip. The Stikine is already a very large river long before it gets anywhere near this area, and only a few of its major tributaries come from the west/northwest; the Chutine River, though, is indeed very large and maybe the largest of the Stikine's right tributaries (I think the Iskut is larger). And the Yaku seems a long way north of this, as the Whiting River is in between; either the Stikine Icecap spans the Whiting River valley (doubtful) or it ends there. The Taku is also already large when the Inklin and Nakina meet and form it, and it has few tributaries from there on down, other than the Tulsequah which meets it virtually at its end/the boundary.
Now, it also happens that "Stikine Icecap" does not occur in the BC naming system (I haven't check GeoNames database at the national level yet, though); but it was me who made the Bivouac.com article in the first place, so I must have had some reason to; but in many (many) cases on Bivouac. we jerry-rigged names when nothing else was possible; the admin (or me, it's been 4 years since I wrote it) may have lumped in the area between the Whiting and Taku - quote: "Includes the small icecap between the Whiting and Taku rivers"; I don't recall it being marked as such on USGS topos, but I don't have topozone access anymore since it's gone pay-for so can't check. Oh, one other thing - the Great Glacier link goes to some fictional glacier in some Dungeons&Dragons spinoff; so I'll disambig that to redlink Great Glacier (Stikine).....

That's on the second google page and I'm not interested in digging fruther; it does appear that this name has become current, but it is not official and the article should say so....I also think it's nuts that the name refers to two icefields, not one....and Chutine Peak, which is where I found this article through, is not in the icefield, but on the other side of Chutine Lake from it......
