Columbia Glacier, Alpine glacier in Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, Washington, United States.
Columbia Glacier extends across the slopes near Columbia Peak, contributing to the mountainous landscape of the North Cascades with its ice formations.
Scientists have documented the glacier's changes since the late 19th century, noting its response to temperature variations and precipitation patterns over time.
Native American tribes incorporated the glacier and surrounding peaks into their oral traditions, recognizing these natural features as integral parts of their heritage.
Hikers can access Columbia Glacier through marked trails in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, following established routes during warmer months.
The glacier's position near Glacier Peak Volcano creates opportunities for researchers to study interactions between glacial ice and volcanic activity.
