The Matthes Glaciers refers to a group of glaciers east of the Glacier Divide in the Sierra Nevada, in the U.S. state of California. The glaciers were named for Francois E. Matthes.[1] There are approximately 10 small glacierets situated above 12,200 feet (3,700 m) in the John Muir Wilderness of Sierra National Forest which comprise the Matthes Glaciers.[2]
