Challenger Glacier
Nature
Challenger Glacier lies on the north slopes of Mount Challenger in North Cascades National Park in Washington. Descending from about 8,000 feet to 5,000 feet and spreading more than 2 miles wide, it is distinguished by a broad terminus, heavy crevassing, and numerous icefalls. On its northern side, a tongue of ice extends toward a proglacial lake. The glacier is also important as part of one of the most common climbing routes to Mount Challenger’s summit.
