Success Glacier


The Success Glacier is a small glacier located on the southwestern slopes of Mount Rainier in Washington. It covers and contains 500 million cubic ft of ice. The glacier is bounded to the northwest by the Success Cleaver and to the east by the Kautz Cleaver. Starting from a steep rocky slope at about, the glacier flows southward downhill. At around, a small snowfield joins this glacier with the Pyramid Glacier to the southwest. Soon after this point, the glacier joins the adjacent Kautz Glacier at. The joined glaciers flow until their terminus at about. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.
