The '''Inter Glacier''' or '''Interglacier''', is a small [[glacier]] on the northeast face of [[Mount Rainier]] in [[Washington]]. The body of ice has a volume of 0.6 billion feet<sup>3</sup> (17 million m<sup>3<./sup>) and covers an area of 0.3 mile<sup>2</sup> (0.8 km<sup>2</sup>).<ref name="Ref2">{{Cite web|title= USGS Mount Rainier Glaciers Description| url=http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/Rainier/Glaciers/description_rainier_glaciers.html|accessdate= 52007-1810-07|publisher=USGS}}</ref>. The glacier lies on top of a wedge called the Steamboat Prow in between the [[Emmons Glacier]] to the south and the [[Winthrop Glacier]] to the north. The glacier starts below the Steamboat Prow at about {{Unit ft|9400|-2}} and flows northeast down to its [[moraine]] at {{Unit ft|7000|-2}}. The gentle [[topography]] under the glacier results in a smooth glacial surface with little in the way of [[crevasse]]s. A small subsidiary peak of Rainier, named Mount Ruth, lies adjacent to the glacier.<ref name="Ref1">{{Cite web|title=Topozone.com - Inter Glacier|url=http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=46.87291&lon=-121.71815&datum=nad27&u=4&layer=DRG&size=l&s=50|publisher=Topozone|accessdate=82007-1710-07}}</ref>. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the [[White River (Washington)|White River]].<ref name="Ref2"/>.
