Cirque Glacier

The Cirque Glacier was a glacier located on the ice-covered planet Hoth. It was located north of the Clabburn Range of mountains and south of the North Ridge and Lanteel Glacier. The Hanging Valley sat to the west of the Cirque Glacier and the Nev Ice Flow lay to the east.

In 3 ABY, the Imperial Viper probe droid XJ9-CS14 passed along the southern edge of the glacier while searching for the secret headquarters of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, diverting south briefly due to a large meteorite crater. As it reached the western end of the glacier toward the boarder into the Hanging Valley, the droid detected the energy signature of Echo Base for the first time, and started moving south toward the Clabburn Range where the base was built.
