Williwakas Glacier

Williwakas Glacier
Type	Mountain glacier
Location	Mount Rainier, Pierce County, Washington, USA
Coordinates	46°48′35″N 121°42′22″W

The Williwakas Glacier was a glacier located on the south flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. The glacier lies below the Paradise Glacier.[1] Due to its relatively low elevation—6,600 feet (2,000 m)–6,900 feet (2,100 m)—the glacier is small and surrounded by small snow fields above the regional tree line.[1] A stubby 7,163 ft (2,183 m) peak is located to the east of the glacier.[1]

The Williwakas Glacier has been characterized as dead since prior to the end of the 20th century.[2][3]
