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.
Paschal Glacier Paschal Glacier ( ) is a glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, draining northwest between two ridges, the terminal points of which are Mount McCoy and Lewis Bluff. The lower end of this glacier merges with the flow of White Glacier and the larger Land Glacier near Mount McCoy before the latter feature debouches into Land Bay on the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Paschal Glacier was photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, and was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Evans W. Paschal, Scientific Leader at Byrd Station, 1970.
