Title
English: Looking northeast up Tahoma Glacier, July 21, 1897
Description
English: Notes in inventory: On Mount Tacoma. Between North Mowich and Nisqually Glaciers. Looking up North Tahoma Glacier, showing South Peak and North Peak [Liberty Cap] .

One of six very large glaciers out of the twenty-eight on Mount Rainier is named the Tahoma Glacier. This glacier originates in Sunset Amphitheater, a large cirque with precipitous walls on the southwest slope of Mt. Rainier and it extends five and a half miles southwest from the mountain's summit to the headwaters of the South Puyallup River. It was named for Tahoma Creek. The U.S. Marine Corps League asked the Secretary of the Interior in 1947 to have the name changed to U.S. Marines Memorial Glacier, in memory of thirty-two marines who were killed on the glacier in a plane crash on December 10, 1946. This name did not become official
