View across Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1960. (Panorama in two parts.) View across Nisqually Glacier in series 14-W (profile 2) used to determine slope and changes in ice thickness. The glacier surface in this area has become much rougher since 1952 and the streak of white (clear) ice is now hidden behind the thickened zone of crevassed, debris-covered ice.

Nisqually Glacier, from confluence with Wilson Glacier to the nunatak, as seen from station 7 on August 22, 1945. Upper part of glacier is at about its lowest known ice mass, as evidenced by the exposure of bedrock. There is almost no crevassing in middle reach. Slope at center of photo is very flat and broken below there. Note the lightcolored medial moraine approaching nunatak from upper right. Sources of debris may be deduced. Note also large icecored moraine along wrest edge of glacier. Mount Rainier National Park. Pierce County, Washington. August 22, 1945. Panoram in two parts. Photo 3 and 4.

Upper reaches of Nisaqually and Wilson Glaciers as seen from station 13 on August 30, 1957. Most of exposed bedrock areas marked in photo no. 18 are now covered by Wilson Glacier. Glacier surface at profile 3 is only 3 feet (1 m) higher than in 1949, but near left edge of picture it probably is about 60 feet (18 m) higher because at profile 2 the ice level rose 97 feet (30 m) from 1949 to 1957. The crevassing appears much coarser (rougher) now and extends to the east edge of the glacier. Exposed face of the ice field above the cliff is thicker. The falls at far left are nearly dry (compare with photo no. 18). Note the different layers (ages) of firn exposed in the small area at lower right, which can be differentiated...

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5 . The upper portion of the glacier is 7 feet (2 meters) higher than in 1959 (photo vfm00026), and since then the glacier has thickened 22 feet (7 meters) lower down and 24 feet (7 meters) toward the bottom of the glacier. The broad bulge of thickening is visible in midglacier in its center portion. The nunatak has been topped by flowing ice. Dead ice downstream has receded considerably since 1959, but now previously stagnant ice in midchannel is thickened and has been incorporated into the advancing terminus. September 8, 1962.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1965. Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5. With respect to its 1962 condition (photo vfm00027), the glacier has gained 3 feet (1 meter) in thickness in the upper area and lost 5 feet (2 meters) lower down. However, toward the bottom, the thickness has increased 34 feet (10 meters). The preliminary result now available for the 1966 survey shows that 1965 was a peak year at the bottom of the glacier. The vigorous terminal reach and snout of the glacier have completely covered or incorporated all vestiges of stagnant ice. The nunatak is almost entirely engulfed.

River channel just above the highway bridge, viewed downstream from a cliff. In the 9-year interval since 1956, note the following: 1., the exceptionally large boulder at the left has not moved; 2., small terraces are visible at the left, caused by moderate-sized floods; 3., an alluvial fan (first visible in 1960) has been deposited by a right bank tributary on this side of the bridge.

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.

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5. With respect to its 1954 condition (photo vfm00025), the glacier now is 9 feet (3 meters) thinner at its upper portion, 12 feet (4 meters) thicker lower down in the glacier, and 70 feet (21 meters) thicker at the lower portion of glacier. The stagnant ice terminus now is visible at the lower left. Fresh, white ice has nearly obscured the debris-covered ice ridge opposite the nunatak near the left (west) edge of the glacier.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1944. (Panorama in two parts.) Changes in ice thickness of Nisqually Glacier occurring about 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) up-glacier from profile 3 were measured on the photographs in series 15. The upper end of the measurement is the base of a lava flow, and the lower end is the top of the ice. This 1944 view illustrates the general nature of the upper area after many years of recession, just preceding the ice advance of the late 1940s. The ice discharge from Wilson Glacier is lost, and large areas of bedrock near its mouth are exposed. The falls on the far left are relatively large compared with their condition in later years (1957-65). Note the opposite direction of cleavage in crevassing patterns visible in midglacier on the lower left. It is...

The ice-cored moraine seen in photo vfm00005 is now subdued because of the rejuvenating movement. Since 1945, the glacier has recovered much of the volume evident in 1894.
