Jeffers Glacier is southeast of Mount Olympus in the Olympic MountainsinOlympic National Park, Washington, US. The glacier is relatively small compared to the nearby Hoh Glacier.[2] Beginning at the foot of a very steep headwall at about 5,800 feet (1,800 m), the glacier descends northeast to about 4,900 ft (1,500 m) before terminating. Meltwater from the terminus flows to the Queets River.
The Jeffers Glacier is named for Olympia photographer Joseph Jeffers, who died after falling into a crevasse there in 1924.[3]
