The main stem flows down a U-shaped glacial valley containing lakes, sand dunes, lateral moraines, and alpine tundra.[5] This valley, about {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} wide initially, widens to between {{convert|3|and|5|mi|km|0}} on the lower reaches, and the river becomes braided. Copious stretches of dwarf birch (betula nana), and sedges, with large expanses of sedge bogs and tussocks dominate the tundra. The Killik is fed largely by precipitation and snow melt, and hence its waters are relatively clear of the sediment that characterizes glacial streams. See also
