Lillian Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Lillian Glacier was a glacier in the Olympic Mountains within Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, its remnants lying in a cirque below McCartney Peak. Between 1905 and 2010 the glacier melted away entirely, a retreat most likely caused by global warming.
