Ice River Glacier is located northeast of Mount Olympus in the Olympic Mountains of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington.[2] Starting at an elevation of 6400feet on the northern slope of a subpeak of Mount Olympus known as Mercury (69500NaN0), the glacier flows northwest as it descends. The glacier reaches as low as 5200-2NaN-2 before terminating. Though the glacier lies adjacent to the much larger Blue Glacier, an arête separates the two glaciers.
