Description: Mount Rainier with its main summit, Columbia Crest (14410 feet) at the center. Emmons Glacier covers most of the visible flank of the mountain. Ingraham Glacier (left) is between Gibraltar Rock (12660 feet) high on the left skyline and Disappointment Cleaver. Left of Gibraltar Rock is sharp pointed Little Tahoma (11138 feet) with Frying Pan Glacier on its flank. It is the source of Frying Pan Creek (not visible) in the valley left of forested and rounded Goat Island Mountain, in front of the Emmons Glacier. Liberty Cap (14112 feet) is visible on the right center skyline behind Russell Cliff. Curtis Ridge descends to the right from Russell Cliff. Winthrop Glacier flows right below Curtis Ridge and behind shallow Steamboat Prow (9680 feet) with the small Inter Glacier on its northeast face. The White River (not visible) comes from the Emmons Glacier and flows around the right side of Goat Island Mountain.
