The glacier is located on top of a cliff from the Emmons Glacier to the north and a small ridge separates this glacier from the Whitman Glacier to the south, except for a small snowfield in which these two glaciers are connected.[2] Most of the ice is located on a broad plateau at an elevation of {{convert|8000|to|8600|ft|m|-2}}. The head of the Fryingpan Glacier is located to the northeast of the ridge and at the foothill of Little Tahoma Peak at around {{convert|9100|to|9800|ft|m|-2}}. The glacier flows downhill eastward and the uneven topography causes the glacier surface to be crevassed The glacier ends on shallow to steep slopes at about {{convert|7100|to|7500|ft|m|-2}}. Numerous snowfields and alpine meadows are located near the bottom and east of the glacier. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the White River. See also
