Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The lower part of Winthrop Glacier toward the southwest shows the white crevassed dark gray gravel-covered active terminus and down-valley face of the stagnant ice. The 2,000- to 3,500-year- old advance left lateral moraines of the forested slope to the left high above the stagnant ice but not visible on the photograph. Winthrop Glacier extended down-valley in the early part of the 18th century. Winthrop Creek is on the left, and West Fork White River is on the right. August 29, 1969.
