Lilliput Glacier is the smallest named glacier in the Sierra Nevada of California. The glacier has an area of .05 km2 (0.019 sq mi), which is approximately 12.2 acres. In terms of area this is about the size of 48 typical suburb (100' x 100' or 1/4 acre) lots that single family home are built on. This glacier lies on the shaded north-facing vertical cliff of Mount Stewart, being the southernmost named glacier in the United States.
