Which Glacier is named after Philemon Beecher Van Trump, who was the first to ascend Mount Rainer in 1870?
Van Trump Glacier The Van Trump Glacier is actually a scattering of glaciers and snowfields located on the southern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. Named after P. B. Van Trump, who was part of an early ascent of Mount Rainier, the glacier covers 0.2 sqmi and contains 500 million ft (14 million m) of ice. The glacier is located between the Wilson Glacier to the east and the Kautz Glacier to the west. The elevation of the scattering ranges from 7000 ft at the lower end to 9800 ft on the upper reaches of the glacier. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.
Mount Gjertsen Mount Gjertsen ( ) is a mountain, 2,420 m high, standing 2 nmi northeast of Mount Grier in the La Gorce Mountains, Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and so named in an attempt to reconcile Byrd's discoveries with the names applied by Roald Amundsen in 1911–12. Amundsen had named a mountain in the general vicinity for Lieutenant Hjalmar Fredrik Gjertsen of the Royal Norwegian Navy, who was second mate on Amundsen's ship "Fram" and later ice pilot for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35.
