Mt. Hood’s Glacier Caves Have Collapsed

Saturday, February 25, 2017

by Liz Warren

In 2011 explorers Brent McGregor, Eduardo Cartaya and Scott Linn began photographing and mapping Mt. Hood’s Glacier Ice Cave. This was the largest glacier cave system in the lower 48 with more than 7,000 feet of passages. News coverage by OPB and the Oregonian brought much interest in the ice caves to the public. Only five years later, the caves are gone and collapsed.

OPB has some stunning photos of what the cave looked like at discovery and after the collapse.

OPB will be presenting "Thin Ice" a stand alone production about the largest discovered glacier caves, outside of Alaska, in the United States right here on the Northwestern slopes of Mt. Hood in the Sandy Glacier. Oregon Field Guide will be airing several episodes of the exploration of the cave with explorers and mappers Eddy Cartaya and Brent McGregor with Oregon Public Broadcasting's Amelia Templeton. Frozen waterfalls and up to 80 foot wide caves will first be seen for many on this presentation!
