History
First climbed in 1907 by L.A. Nelson and party. The Olympic Mountains are geologically distinct from the Cascades — formed from oceanic basalt and marine sediments scraped off the Juan de Fuca Plate rather than volcanic activity. The summit Blue Glacier is one of the most studied glaciers in North America.
