caption_attribution_description: Ladder Creek and Neve Glaciers, Snowfield Peak, in North Cascades National Park. This scene displays the rugged nature of the North Cascades where glacierized peaks rise abruptly from heavily timbered valleys that are less than 1,000 m above sea level. The Cascade divide is crossed by trail at Park Creek Pass (altitude 1,845 m) top left; Goode Mountain (altitude 2,800 m) is to the left, and Buckner Mountain (altitude 2,780 m) with Boston Glacier (7 square km in area) is to the right of the pass. Timberline is at about 1,860 m. Skagit and Whatcom Counties, Washington. ca. 1966. (Aerial view) Published as figure 4 in U. S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 715-A. 1971. Pinnacle Peak (bottom left) and Paul Bunyans Stump (bottom left center) with Colonial Glacier behind and left; Snowfield Peak (upper right center middle distance) with Neve Glacier descending past the center to the left and Ladder Creek Glacier descending from the center toward the lower right.

context_page_description: 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 to the east. Ladder Creek Glacier descends from 7,800 to 6,000 ft, while the east tongue also originates from the same altitude and descends to 5,600 ft. Between 1850 and 2006, Neve Glacier is estimated to have retreated more than 1,000 m.
