Ice River Glacier
Type Mountain glacier
Location North of Mount Olympus, Washington, U.S.
Coordinates 47°49′26″N, 123°40′06″W[1]

Ice River Glacier is a glacier located near Mount Olympus in the Olympic Mountains and Olympic National Park. Starting at an elevation of 6,400 feet (2,000 m) on the northern slope of a 6,950 ft (2,118 m) peak, the glacier flows northwest as the ice descends.[2] The glacier reaches as low as 5,200 ft (1,600 m) before terminating. Though the glacier lies adjacent to the much larger Blue Glacier, an arête separates the two glaciers.[2]
