Encyclopedia > Whitman Glacier

The Whitman Glacier is a medium-sized glacier on the eastern flank of Little Tahoma Peak, a sub-peak of Mount Rainier in Washington. Starting from near the rocky spire of Little Tahoma at 10,000 ft (3,000 m), the glacier flows southeast downhill. A small snowfield connects this glacier with the adjacent Fryingpan Glacier at about 9,200 ft (2,800 m). As the Whitman Glacier flows southeast, the Whitman Crest bounds the glacier to the northeast. Upon reaching a flatter plateau at about 8,300 ft (2,500 m), the glacier does not flow far before reaching its terminus at 8,200 ft (2,500 m) to 7,800 ft (2,400 m). The small Ohanapecosh Glacier lies to the east of the terminus.
