The Ingraham Glacier is a large glacier on the eastern flank of Mount Rainier, Washington. The glacier start out at the Disappointment Cleaver at over 12,200 ft (3,700 m) and flow eastward along with the large Emmons Glacier. As the glaciers head down to about 10,000 ft (3,000 m), the wedge from Little Tahoma Peak splits up the Emmons and the Ingraham Glacier. While the Emmons glacier heads northeast, this glacier turns and heads southeast and joins the adjacent Cowlitz Glacier as a single valley glacier ending at around 5,500 ft (1,700 m) elevation. A glacier is a large, persistent body of ice, formed largely of compacted layers of snow, that slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity. ...
