Mendel Glacier is {{convert|.35|mi}} north of Darwin Glacier at {{convert|12500|ft}} above sea level. The middle and lower portions of the glacier are covered with rock debris. A US Army plane crashed above or into the glacier in 1942 with four airmen on board during a navigation training mission.[2] See also
