This must not have been taken recently because it certainly does not look like this up there right now. There are of course year-round glaciers and snowfields, but not this much snow!

It's plenty studied, but definitely very under-monitored.

How does it look so trafficked? Is it “readily” accessible? I’ve been going up to the Glacier Peak Wilderness area but had no idea that many people go all the way up.

Isn’t that the volcano most likely to blow?

The texture of the snow comes from it melting in the sun. It forms runnels (the lines in the back) on steep terrain, and cups (the pockets in the foreground) on less steep terrain.

Wow that's incredible, mind sharing the hike and glacier it is?

Woah. Didn't realize it gets that snowy up there this early, especially considering the lac of precipitation so far.
