Fryingpan Glacier, Alpine glacier in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, United States.
Fryingpan Glacier extends along the eastern face of Little Tahoma Peak, spanning elevations from 7,100 to 9,800 feet across a broad plateau.
The glacier has maintained its position on Little Tahoma Peak through centuries, contributing water to the White River system throughout geological periods.
Mountaineers and glaciologists regularly study this formation to monitor climate impacts and changes in the Mount Rainier ecosystem.
Visitors access the glacier via the Wonderland Trail from White River entrance, following a 4-mile trek through Summerland to reach Meany Crest.
The glacier forms a natural connection with Whitman Glacier through a small snowfield, creating an interconnected ice system at high elevation.
