Fryingpan Glacier is on the eastern face of the 11138-foot (3395 m) Little Tahoma Peak just to the east of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier is located on top of a cliff from the Emmons Glacier to the north and a small ridge separates this glacier from the Whitman Glacier to the south except for a small snowfield in which these two glaciers are connected. Most of the ice is located on a broad plateau at an elevation of 8000 to 8600 feet (2400 to 2600 m).
