The Pyramid Glacier is actually a scattering of glaciers and snowfields located on the south-southwestern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington.
[2] The glaciers lie at an elevation ranging from about 7,000 feet (2,100 m) to 9,000 ft (2,700 m).
[3] Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.
[2] In a June 2023 report from the National Park Service, the glacier had lost 34% of its volume between 2015 and 2021.
[4] Based on 2022 satellite imagery, glaciologist Mauri Pelto declared Pyramid Glacier dead.
