Terminus: A Glacier Story

Olympic National Park is home to over 100 glaciers, whose snowpack feeds rivers, forests, and lowland communities in route to the sea and have had a powerful role in shaping the landscape of the park over the centuries. In 2023, National Park Service staff put together an artist residency program called Terminus, which assigned 43 artists to 43 glaciers in Olympic. Working in a variety of media types, from painting and poetry, to weaving and comics, these artists created pieces based on their assigned glaciers to reflect their importance to the ecosystem and their place in park history.
