Summary

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Patterns of small recessional lateral moraines on the east bank of Nisqually Glacier at an altitude of about 6,400 feet (1,950 meters) are evident, looking up-glacier from station 12. The patterns suggest that, at times, the recession progressed in a discontinuous manner, as in successive small steps interrupted by slight advances. Photo by F.F. Lawrence, August 26, 1940.
