Skillet Glacier, Alpine glacier on Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States
The glacier extends across 175 acres on the eastern cliffs of Mount Moran, featuring a narrow upper section that widens into a broad lower segment.
The first climbers reached Mount Moran's summit through Skillet Glacier in 1922, establishing it as a primary route for mountaineers ascending the peak.
The National Park Service monitors the glacier as part of Grand Teton's twelve remaining glacial formations, documenting environmental changes in the region.
Mountaineers access the glacier from String Lake Trailhead, requiring technical climbing equipment and assessment of snow conditions before attempting the ascent.
A DC-3 aircraft crashed near the glacier in 1950, with wreckage still present on Mount Moran as a testament to the area's aviation history.
