White Salmon Glacier is located on Mount Adams in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier starts southwest of the summit crater at an elevation of 11600 ft (3500 m). Ice flows southwest downhill until the glacier’s terminus at about 9600 ft (2900 m) elevation. The glacier also contributes ice to the much larger Avalanche Glacier at an elevation of 10200 ft (3100 m). White Salmon Glacier has decreased in surface area by 86 percent between 1904 and 2006.
