Tahoma-Gletscher
The Tahoma Glacier is a long glacier mostly on the western flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. The glacier starts out near the summit of the volcano at over Vorlage:Unit ft. As the glacier flows west-southwest out of the summit area, it cascades down a steep rocky face as an icefall from Vorlage:Unit ft to Vorlage:Unit ft, where the glacier is connected to the South Mowich Glacier to the north in the Sunset Amphitheater. As the glacier drops below Vorlage:Unit ft, the glacier broadens and joins the smaller South Tahoma Glacier. After the broad expanse of ice at over Vorlage:Unit ft, the Tahoma Glacier narrows as it descends around the rocky Vorlage:Unit ft-Glacier Island, a sub-peak of Rainier once fully encircled by both the South Tahoma and Tahoma Glaciers. Leaving the bottleneck in the glacier, the glacier splits, the larger, longer northern arm continues flowing west-southwest and terminates at around Vorlage:Unit ft. The southern arm flows south towards the arm of the South Tahoma Glacier, but this arm terminates before it rejoins the South Tahoma at Vorlage:Unit ft.
