Mount Rainier is a volcanic landform, specifically an active stratovolcano, located in the state of Washington in the United States. It is the highest mountain in the state and is part of the Cascade Range.
The first recorded sighting of Mount Rainier was by Peter Rainier in 1792 during George Vancouver's expedition. However, the mountain was actually named after British Admiral Peter Rainier, rather than being discovered by him.
Yes, there are many glaciers on the mountain above about 8,000 feet where snow and ice don't melt. Hundreds of inches fall every year on Paradise Ranger station which is around 5500 feet, and it often doesn't completely melt until late June or July at that elevation. But it does all melt. You have to get above 7-8 thousand feet, depending on the year, to find snow that does not melt.
