Summary

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Emmons Glacier strikingly shows the active terminus covered with 1963 avalanche debris. The glacier was extended across the forested valley bottom perhaps as early as 1655. When I.C. Russell and his party saw the glacier in 1896, it occupied the valley now filled with bare gravel and boulders. Inter Fork flows from the closed basin on the viewer's right of the valley, and White River flows from the terminus down the viewer's left of the valley. August 29, 1969. Plate 7, Figure 8, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 387-B.
