Success Glacier

The Success Glacier is a small glacier located on the southwestern slopes of Mount Rainier in Washington. It covers 0.3 sqmi and contains 500 million cubic ft (14 million m3) of ice. The glacier is bounded to the northwest by the Success Cleaver and to the east by the Kautz Cleaver. Starting from a steep rocky slope at about 11000 ft, the glacier flows southward downhill. At around 9000 ft, a small snowfield joins this glacier with the Pyramid Glacier to the southwest. Soon after this point, the glacier joins the adjacent Kautz Glacier at 8600 ft. The joined glaciers flow until their terminus at about 6000 ft. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.
