White Glacier is a medium-sized glacier located to the northeast of Mount Tom in the Olympic Mountains and Olympic National Park. The glacier, located in between Mount Tom and Mount Olympus, starts at around Unit ft|7000|-2 and Unit ft|6400|-2. The westernmost section of White Glacier is partially separated from the rest of the glacier by several small ridges of rock and it flows straight north. [Google Earth images.] The rest of the glacier flows north as well, but as its glacier toe descends to around Unit ft|4800|-2, the toe turns northeast. The toe heads continues northeast until its terminus at Unit ft|4400|-2. The glacier also contains a relatively flat, northward sloping ranging in elevation from Unit ft|6000|-2 to Unit ft|5400|-2.Cite web|title=White Glacier, USGS Mount Olympus (WA) Topo Map|work=USGS Quad maps|url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.asp?lat=47.80357&lon=-123.74047&s=48&size=l&u=4&datum=nad27&layer=DRG|accessdate=2007-11-21]
