Ingraham Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Ingraham Glacier lies on the south-eastern flank of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington, named for the Mount Rainier enthusiast Edward Sturgis Ingraham. From the summit ice cap it flows east between Gibraltar Rock and Disappointment Cleaver and south of Little Tahoma Peak, which separates it from the much larger Emmons Glacier to the north. Descending southeast, it approaches the east flank of Cowlitz Glacier, with the two nearly joining at about 6,700 feet, and its meltwater drains into the Cowlitz River.
