Starting at an elevation of over {{convert|10200|ft|abbr=on}} at just below The Castle, the glacier flows eastward down slope.[2] A significant portion of the glacier is covered by rock debris and in the middle of the glacier, at about {{convert|9200|ft|abbr=on}}, there is a small ice-free island of rock. The glacier terminates at about {{convert|7500|ft|abbr=on}} at its rock-covered moraine.[2] The glacier has decreased in surface area by 23 percent between 1904 and 2006.[3] The glacier was named for Claude Ewing Rusk, who made the first ascent of The Castle in 1921, by Harry Fielding Reid.[4][5] See also
