Glaciar Norte is a glacier located on the volcanic peak of Popocatépetl in the Mexican State of Puebla. In 1964 the glacier was estimated to be 600 metres (2000 ft) long and cover .2 square kilometres (0.077 sq mi) on the north side of Popocatépetl. Glaciar Norte is connected to Glaciar del Ventorrillo which lies to the west. In a study published in 2006 all the glaciers atop Popocatépetl had essentially disappeared due to increased volcanic activity.
