Ingraham Glacier
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Ingraham Glacier is on the south-eastern flank of Mount Rainier, in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier is named for the Mount Rainier enthusiast Edward Sturgis Ingraham.[1] From the summit ice cap, Ingraham Glacier flows east between Gibraltar Rock, (Script error: No such module "convert".), and Disappointment Cleaver and south of Little Tahoma Peak (Script error: No such module "convert".), which divides it from the much larger Emmons Glacier to the north. Descending southeast, it approaches the east flank of Cowlitz Glacier and the two glaciers nearly join at Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Cowlitz River.
History
About 35,000 years ago, the Ingraham and Cowlitz glaciers flowed Script error: No such module "convert". down from Mount Rainier to near present-day Mossyrock, Washington.[3] More recently, the Cowlitz - Ingraham glaciers advanced slightly from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, but have been in a general state of retreat since the end of the Little Ice Age around the year 1850. During the Little Ice Age, the Ingraham and Cowlitz glaciers were combined and terminated at the Script error: No such module "convert". level but have retreated more than Script error: No such module "convert". in the last 150 years.
The worst mountaineering accident in American history occurred on June 21, 1981, when eleven people died in an ice fall on the Ingraham Glacier. None of the bodies were ever recovered.[4]
