Paradise Ice Caves

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Paradise Ice Caves (also known as the Paradise Glacier Caves) were a system of interconnected glacier caves located withn Mount Rainier's Paradise Glacier in the United States. At one time, they were the longest mapped system of glacier caves in the world.[citation needed] The caves vanished during the 1990s due to ongoing recession of the Paradise Glacier. The lower lobe of the glacier which once contained the caves also vanished entirely between 2004 and 2006.
