The glacier was named after George Patrick Ahern.[3] Ahern Glacier is situated on a ridge between Ipasha Peak to the north and Ahern Peak to the south at an elevation between {{convert|8800|ft|m}} and {{convert|8000|ft|m}} above sea level, immediately east of the Continental Divide.[4] Meltwater from the glacier feeds Ahern Glacier Falls, a waterfall which descends an estimated {{convert|1680|ft}} in one sheer drop to a talus slope below en route to Helen Lake.[5] Between 1966 and 2005, Ahern Glacier lost 13 percent of its surface area.[2] See also
