The Talum Glaciers lie on the southeast slopes of Mount Baker in Washington’s North Cascades, linked on the west to Squak Glacier as part of the mountain’s heavily glaciated upper landscape. Their recorded changes mirror broader glacier fluctuations on Mount Baker. From 1850 to 1950, they retreated 6,479 feet. During a cooler, wetter period from 1950 to 1979, they advanced 902 feet, then retreated again by 951 feet between 1980 and 2006. They remain an example of the changing ice fields of the North Cascades.
