[edit] This glacier is officially 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.
References:
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 name "Tulutson Glacier" was completely unheard of until the 2005 WSBGN decision, and has not been used in any official or scientific publications.
We should change any references to this glacier throughout WP from "Tulutson Glacier" to "Crater Glacier". I just wanted to put a note here in case of any future controversy about this issue. I've also adding a section on the naming issue to the article, with lots of references. Thanks. Seattle Skier 04:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Too many images
I think some of the images are redundant and they should be removed. Hydrogen Iodide 07:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
