Terminus of Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1942. (Panorama in three parts.)

Dates

Date Taken
1942-08-19

Summary

Terminus of Nisqually Glacier selected from series 1-NE, taken from a point at or near the old highway bridge. The terminus is now more irregular and segmented than in 1929. This suggests stagnation, as there is little evidence of ice flow to the terminus from above. The rate of melting is probably reduced because of the extensive debris cover. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 19, 1942. Panorama in three parts. Photo 23, 31 and 32. (see vfm00031 and vfm00032) Figure 19, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.
