Skinner Glacier
Skinner Glacier is the central part of the glacier complex called Skinner on the north side of South Sister. At one point these three glaciers were one glacier, but by the U.S.G.S. mapping in the 1950s, Skinner had separated in to three glaciers, yet only one name was put on the map. Skinner Glacier is still an active glacier, although quite small and sometimes lacking an accumulation zone, meaning it will likely disappear in the near future.
