Hoh Glacier, Glacier in Olympic National Park, United States.
The Hoh Glacier extends for 3.06 miles along Mount Olympus, forming a substantial ice mass that feeds the Hoh River with its cold waters.
Scientists have documented changes in the Hoh Glacier's size and shape through photographs and measurements since the early twentieth century to track environmental modifications.
Native American tribes of the Olympic Peninsula incorporated the glacier and its surrounding landscape into their traditional narratives about the natural world.
Access to Hoh Glacier requires a multi-day hike through the Hoh River Trail, with permits necessary for overnight camping in Olympic National Park.
The glacier receives between 12 and 14 feet of annual precipitation, making it part of the wettest non-tropical environment in the continental United States.
