Katsuk Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, in a cirque to the north of Katsuk Peak and east of Kimtah Peak.[2] Both Katsuk and Kimtah Peaks are prominent summits along a ridge known as Jagged Edge.[3] Katsuk Glacier consists of three disconnected sections, the largest of which stretches for over 1miles in width. Kimtah Glacier is immediately west of Katsuk Glacier, while the Mesahchie Glacier lies to the east.[2]
