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,[2] the glacier covers 0.2 square miles (0.5 km2) and contains 500 million ft3 (14 million m3) of ice.[1] 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 7,000 feet (2,100 m) at the lower end to 9,800 ft (3,000 m) on the upper reaches of the glacier.[3] Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.[1]
