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. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 8, 1960. Panorama in two parts. (see vfm00012) Figure 9, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1945. (Panoram in two parts.)

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. (see vfm00004) Published as figure 4 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 631. 1969.

Upper reaches of Nisaqually and Wilson Glaciers. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1957. (Panorama in two parts.)

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...

River channel just above the highway bridge. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington.1965. (Panorama in three parts.)

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. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 31, 1965. Panorama in three parts. Photo 49, 51 and 52. (see vfm00049 and vfm00051) Figure 39-D, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

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.

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...

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.

Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1954. (Panorama in three parts.)

Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak, as seen from station 6. Practically all the main ice flow from the east half of the glacier is being diverted to the west side of the nunatak. Note the steep front of the fresh ice advance. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 1, 1954. Panorama in three parts. Photo 22, 31 and 32. (see vfm00022 and vfm00032) Figure 28, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Terminus of Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1929. (Panorama in two parts.)

Terminus of Nisqually Glacier selected from series 1-NE, taken from a point at or near the old highway bridge. In marked contrast to the 1903 and 1908 appearances, the non-crevassed, "sliced-off"-looking terminal face and the generally concave, debris-covered condition of the surface above indicate that the terminus is now definitely receding and is approaching a stagnant condition. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. July 5, 1929. Panorama in two parts. Photo 19 and 21. (see vfm00019) Figure 18, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1957. (Panorama in two parts.)

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers, as seen from station 13. Most of the exposed bedrock areas are covered by Wilson Glacier. The glacier surface at profile 3 is only 3 feet (1 meter) higher than in 1949 (photo vfm00037), but near the left edge it probably is about 60 feet (18 meters) higher, because at profile 2 the ice level rose 97 feet (34 meters) from 1949 to 1957. The crevassing appears much coarser (rougher) now and extends to the east edge of the glacier. The exposed face of the ice field above the cliff is thicker. The falls at the far left are nearly dry. Note the different layers (ages) of firn exposed in the small area on the lower right, which can be differentiated by various shades...

The erosion of the old (pre-1840) lateral moraine. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1947. (Panorama in two parts.)

The erosion of the old (pre-1840) lateral moraine on the east side of the glacier is shown by the series 11 photographs. The total erosion during the period 1947-65 appears to have averaged between 10 and 15 feet horizontally. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 25, 1947. Panorma in two parts. Photo 44 and 45. (see vfm00045) Figure 35 (upper photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1947. (Panorama in two parts.)

Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3. West of the island of trees, most of the vegetation present in the 1934 view (photo vfm00046) is gone, due to the glacier outburst flood of October 1934. The river now flows west of this island of trees. The deck of the concrete highway bridge used prior to the October 13, 1932 flood is visible on the flood plain just below the island of trees. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 25, 1947. Panorama in two parts. Photo 46 and 47. (see vfm00046) Figure 37, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1965. (Panorama in two parts.)

Upper reaches of the Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers, as seen from station 13. The glacier from profile 3 downstream to where it leaves this view has now reached a steady state condition, as determined by the annual surveys. In general, the crevassing appears similar to that of 1957 (photo vfm00040). Firn can be seen in many areas. The ice on the cliff on the left is much thicker than in 1957. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Panorama in two parts. Photo 40 and 43. (see vfm00040) August 30, 1965. Figure 34, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

River channel just above the highway bridge. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1956. (Panorama in three parts.)

River channel just above the highway bridge, viewed downstream from a cliff. The October 25, 1955 glacier outburst flood has caused easily recognizable changes in the channel: 1., a large (13 by 19 by 25 feet, or 4 by 5.8 by 7.6 meters) boulder was deposited at the left; 2., a wider swath cut through vegetation; 3., a terrace formed along the left side of the flood plain; 4., many large boulders (one was 8 by 8 by 15 feet, or 2.6 by 2.6 by 4.9 meters) were deposited high on the left bank above and below the highway. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 28, 1956. Panorama in three parts. Photo 49, 51 and 52. (see vfm00049 and vfm00052) Figure 39-C, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

The erosion of the old (pre-1840) lateral moraine. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1965. (Panorama in two parts.)

The erosion of the old (pre-1840) lateral moraine on the east side of the glacier is shown by the series 11 photographs. The total erosion during the period 1947-65 appears to have averaged between 10 and 15 feet horizontally. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 4, 1965. Panorama in two parts. Photo 44 and 45. (see vfm00044) Figure 35 (lower photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington.1951. (Panorama in two parts.)

Lower part of Nisqually Glacier as seen from station 5. Since 1942, the glacier has thickened by about 80 feet (24 meters) in the upper center and 40 feet (12 meters) slightly lower, but it is still thinning in the center of the photograph. Note the lateral melting of the ice ridge to left of the nunatak, as compared with the 1942 view and the exposed river bed. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 22, 1951. Panorama in two parts. Photo 22 and 24. (see vfm00022) Figure 21, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. 1958. (Panorama in three parts.)

Nisqually Glacier near the nunatak, as seen from station 6. Note the growth and movement of ice over the peak of the nunatak and along its east side which have occurred since 1954 (photo vfm00031). Crevassing in midglacier in the vicinity of the nunatak has a very coarse pattern, and the ablation of crevassed walls is very evident This was a summer of abnormally high ablation. The ice-cored, moraine-like ridge noted on the left in the 1942 view in series 5 (photo vfm00023) has nearly disappeared. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. September 5, 1958. Panorama in three parts. Photo 23, 31 and 32. (see vfm00023 and vfm00031) Figure 29, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.
