Ice River Glacier is located {{convert|2.4|mi}} northeast of Mount Olympus in the Olympic Mountains of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington.{{Cite map|publisher=TopoQwest (United States Geological Survey Maps)|title=Mount Olympus, WA|url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=47.82417&lon=-123.66863&datum=nad83&zoom=4|accessdate=2012-10-06}} Starting at an elevation of {{convert|6400|ft|m|-2}} on the northern slope of a subpeak of Mount Olympus known as Mercury ({{convert|6950|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}), the glacier flows northwest as it descends. The glacier reaches as low as {{convert|5200|ft|m|-2|abbr=on}} before terminating. Though the glacier lies adjacent to the much larger Blue Glacier, an arête separates the two glaciers.
