Talk:Tulutson Glacier

This page needs to be named "Crater Glacier", not "Tulutson Glacier"
The official name for this feature is "Crater Glacier", as decided by an 8-4 vote of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, Domestic Names Committee, in June 2006. This supersedes the earlier decision by the Washington State Board on Geographic Names in 2005 to name it "Tulutson Glacier", and is now the official name required for use in all US government documents and publications.

In addition, the current name is against the policy in Naming conventions (geographic names), which states that "When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it." The name "Crater Glacier" has been in wide use with the public (at least those who were aware of its existence) for the two decades since the glacier formed, and has appeared in scientific publications too.

The article should be renamed, the first sentence revised, and information about the naming decisions/controversy added (perhaps). I am happy to make these changes unless someone objects.
