Coleman Glacier, Mountain glacier in North Cascades, United States.
Coleman Glacier extends 2.25 miles along Mount Baker's western slopes, featuring a terminus composed of moraine and talus deposits at 5,800 feet elevation.
Edmund Thomas Coleman, who accomplished the first successful climb of Mount Baker in 1868, gave his name to this glacier on the mountain's north flank.
The glacier serves as a research site for scientists studying climate patterns, glacial movements, and environmental changes in the Pacific Northwest region.
Visitors access Coleman Glacier through Heliotrope Ridge trail, requiring proper mountain climbing equipment and experience for safe glacier exploration.
Between 1950 and 1979, the glacier demonstrated an unusual advancement of 2,480 feet during a period of cooler temperatures and increased precipitation.
