Meier called this glacier F-3, though it was later renamed Harrower Glacier. The straight line distance to the highest snow point on the ridge is about .8 of a mile.
Neil F. Humphrey, professor of glaciology and geomorphology at the University of Wyoming, has this assessment of the pairing: "The glacier was just hanging on in Mark's pic, with lots of signs of previous advances and retreats, but probably on the verge of major retreating. . . . it [is] basically dead. . . . In your pic, the glacier has retreated to the last of its quasi-stable positions. It may survive for a while, or may completely disappear. That would need more work, although from your pic it looks like it will last for quite awhile. . . . the retreat of this glacier is 'probably' only slightly due to the current round of climate change."

From Meier, Mark F. "Glaciers of the Gannett Peak-Fremont Peak Area, Wyoming." MS (Master of Science) thesis, State University of Iowa, 1951. Fig. 9, p. 28. Original caption: "Dinwoody Glacier, as seen from a point on the Little Ice Age moraine south of the terminus. The mountains in the background (Sphinx, Woodrow Wilson, and Pinnacle Ridge) are over 1 1/2 miles distant. Note the clean, crevassed surface of the tributary ice streams and the dirty, uncrevassed surface of the ice in the foreground. The gentle floor of the central basin is barely visible at the left center. The abrupt change in slope from the central basin to the sloping terminus is shown."
