The Quien Sabe Glacier is a glacier on the western slopes of the Boston Peak in the North Cascades National Park in the US state of Washington, D.C. “Uncertain Glacier” from the Spanish “quien sabe” - “Who knows ...” . The glacier is approximately 0.60 mi (0.97 km) long, 0.70 mi (1.13 km) wide, and its tail reaches from 8,400 ft (2,560 m) to 7,200 ft (2,195 m).
