Jeffers Glacier is a glacier located in the Olympic Mountains in Olympic National Park. The body of ice, relatively small compared to the nearby Blue Glacier, is located southeast of Mount Olympus.[1] Beginning at foot of a very steep headwall at about 5,800 feet (1,800 m), the glacier flows and descends northeast to about 4,900 ft (1,500 m) before terminating.[2] There is an arm of the glacier which extends southward on a flat area at about 5,150 ft (1,600 m) in elevation.[2] This extension of ice terminates in a lake.[1]
