Baker Glacier
Baker Glacier is a prominent glacier located on the northeastern flank of Mount Baker, a stratovolcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. It is part of the North Cascades National Park and is known for its stunning blue ice and dynamic movement. The glacier feeds into the Nooksack River and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem.
The glacier is approximately 3.5 miles long and has been studied for its response to climate change. As temperatures rise, many glaciers, including Baker Glacier, are experiencing significant retreat. This retreat impacts water resources and local wildlife, making it an important area for scientific research and environmental monitoring.
