Jeffers Glacier

Jeffers Glacier is a glacier located in the Olympic Mountains in Olympic National Park. The body of ice, relatively small compared to the nearby Hoh Glacier, is located southeast of Mount Olympus. Beginning at the foot of a very steep headwall at about 5,800 feet (1,800 m), the glacier descends northeast to about 4,900 ft (1,500 m) before terminating. Meltwater from the terminus flows to the Queets River. The Jeffers Glacier is named for Olympia photographer Joseph Jeffers, who died after falling into a crevasse there in 1924.
