Ohanapecosh Glacier, Alpine glacier on Mount Rainier, United States
The Ohanapecosh Glacier spans 0.6 square miles on Mount Rainier's southeastern flanks, featuring several ice lobes connected by thin snowfields.
The glacier has maintained its surface area since 1983, demonstrating the enduring glacial characteristics of Mount Rainier National Park.
The glacier contributes to local water systems by feeding the Ohanapecosh River and Muddy Fork Cowlitz River, supporting regional ecological balance.
Visitors can observe the glacier between elevations of 7,400 and 8,300 feet, with access to 3D hiking maps for navigation in the area.
The glacier contains 1.3 billion cubic feet of ice and terminates at cliffs near 6,100 feet elevation, creating a distinctive geological formation.
