Nature
Neve Glacier lies on the north slopes of Snowfield Peak in North Cascades National Park, Washington, and flows generally north before splitting into two terminal tongues that give it a distinctive divided form. Its northwest branch, called Ladder Creek Glacier, descends from about 7,800 feet to roughly 6,000 feet, while the eastern tongue drops from the same elevation to about 5,600 feet over more than 1.8 miles. These elevations and branching flow shape its place in the rugged glaciated terrain of the North Cascades. Since the nineteenth century, it has shrunk substantially, retreating by more than 1,000 meters between 1850 and 2006.
