The Sarvant Glacier is a glacier located on the northern slopes of the Cowlitz Chimneys in the state of Washington. Named for Henry M. Sarvant, who mapped Mount Rainier in 1894,[1] the glacier starts at an elevation of about 7000feet and descends northward down to 6100-2NaN-2.[2] There are several patches of permanent ice and snow that lie to the east and west of the glacier. These range in elevation from about 7000-2NaN-2 to 5700-2NaN-2. The patches of ice and snow to the west are labeled Sarvant Glaciers.[2]
