Neve Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington and is on the north slopes of Snowfield Peak. Neve Glacier flows generally north and splits in two with two terminal tongues, one flowing to the northwest which is known as Ladder Creek Glacier and the other descending a total of more than 1.8 mi (2.9 km) to the east. Ladder Creek Glacier descends from 7,800 to 6,000 ft (2,400 to 1,800 m), while the east tongue also originates from the same altitude and descends to 5,600 ft (1,700 m).[2] Between 1850 and 2006, Neve Glacier is estimated to have retreated more than 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[3]
