{{Short description|Glacier in Washington, United States}}
The '''Shoestring Glacier''' is a small [[valley glacier]], stretching out from the 6,060 foot{{convert|8364|ft|m|adj=on}} peak of [[Mount SaintSt. Helens]] in Skamania county in southwest [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]] in the United States.<ref name="Location and Map">{{cite web|url=http://www.us-places.com/map-places.php?placeid=1525696|title=Shoestring glacier|accessdate=2009-07-21}}</ref>. The source of the glacier was an ice and snow field on the summit of the mountain. 75% of the glacier's volume was removed through the [[1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens|1980 volcanic activity]] of SaintSt. Helens, creating deadly [[lahars]] down the mountainside. The glacier has also created a [[truncated spur]] on the mountain.<ref name="Summary of the glacier">{{cite web|url=http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/MSH/NatMonument/PointsInterest/shoestring_glacier.html|title=Shoestring Glacier |last=Topinka|first=Lyn|date=2007-03/-27/07|accessdate=2009-07-21}}</ref>
