Sandalee Glacier is in North Cascades National Park and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area in the U.S. state of Washington, on the north and east slopes of McGregor Mountain.[2] Sandalee Glacier originates in several cirques and extends from 7800feetto6800feetft (toft) above sea level across a distance of almost 1.5miles. In 1993, the Sandalee Glacier had an area of 2 km2. The National Park Service is currently studying Sandalee Glacier as part of their glacier monitoring project.[3] Between 1993 (when monitoring began) and 2013 the glacier lost ~6 m of thickness.[4]
