Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1951.

Nisqually Glacier ice margins for selected years in the period 1890-1963. By 1965, the glacier had recovered much of the ice thickness it had lost since 1890. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 23, 1951. Figure 6, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Sarvent lava complex. South Cowlitz Chimney. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959.

A plug of flow-banded rhyolite in the Sarvent lava complex of South Cowlitz Chimney. The south (right) side of the plug flares outward, truncating and overriding nearly horizontal bedded rocks of the Ohanapecosh Formation. The plug's sheer rock face is about 500 feet high. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959. Figure 17, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 444.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Lower part of Nisqually Glacier. About 130 years ago, the glacier extended about 600 feet below the bridge and filled the valley from wall to wall.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Lower part of Nisqually Glacier. About 130 years ago, the glacier extended about 600 feet below the bridge and filled the valley from wall to wall. The terminus could not have been beyond a point above the bridge when Lt.A.V. Kautz saw it in 1857. The glacier has since retreated to its present position. September 22, 1966.

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

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.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The advancing terminus of Carbon Glacier shows its closeness to the maximum advance in 10,000 years.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The advancing terminus of Carbon Glacier shows its closeness to the maximum advance in 10,000 years. The terminus started to recede from the area about 1760. Earlier, near the end of the 15th century, the glacier was broader near the terminus and left moraines. Cataract Creek, not clearly, occupies the valley in the foreground, flowing from the right to Carbon River in left center. View is southeast. Aug. 29, 1969.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 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. September 11, 1959. Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 633.

Changes in ice thickness of Nisqually 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...

Avalanche deposit, Tahoma Glacier, Mount Rainier National Park, Pierce County, Washington. 1964.

Album Caption: Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Avalanche deposit at and on the terminus of Tahoma Glacier. Parts of the avalanche debris are a sticky yellow clay which is the product of hydrothermal alteration of rock within the volcano. The alteration evidently occurred in an old conduit of the volcano which is now exposed in cross section in the cliffs immediately left of the area where Tahoma Glacier spills down from the summit snowfields. The ice face in the center foreground is about 150 feet high. Pierce County, Washington. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 677, figure 5. 1971.

Small recessional lateral moraines on Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1940.

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. Figure 26, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1957.

Upper reaches of Nisqually 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...

View across Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1952. (Panorama in two parts.)

View across Nisqually Glacier in series 14-W (profile 2) used to determine slope and changes in ice thickness. Note the relief visible in the canyon wall, which is not at all apparent in the views that were taken in 1942, 1960, and 1965 under flatter lighting. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 27, 1952. Panorama in two parts. Photo 1 and 2. (see vfm00013) Figure 8, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Interbedded volcanic sandstone of the Ohanapecosh Formation of Backbone Ridge. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959.

Interbedded volcanic sandstone and siltstone (dark) of the Ohanapecosh Formation, viewed from the east side of Backbone Ridge. Note the prominent ripple marks in the upper half of the photograph, the load casts of sandstone bulging downward into siltstone (upper center and at the base of the stratum partly obscured by a dark stain), and abundant flattened pumice lapilli in the sandstone bed extending across the center. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959. Figure 16, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 444.

Remnants of the Fifes Peak Formationon. Unicorn Peak. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Circa 1959.

Remnants of the Fifes Peak Formation, 1,000 feet thick, on Unicorn Peak. Lava flows forming the cliffs alternate with less resistant volcanic sedimentary rocks. These nearly flat strata lie in the broad trough of the Unicorn Peak syncline. Rocks of the Stevens Ridge Formation lie in the foreground. Mount Rainer National Park, Washington. ca. 1959.
