Ice River Glacier is located 2.4 miles (3.9 km) northeast of Mount Olympus in the Olympic MountainsofOlympic National Park in the U.S. stateofWashington.[2] Starting at an elevation of 6,400 feet (2,000 m) on the northern slope of a subpeak of Mount Olympus known as Mercury (6,950 ft (2,118 m)), the glacier flows northwest as it descends. 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.
