The glacier was considered a snow field until a Mazama committee investigated on October 19, 1924 and determined it was, in fact, a glacier and should be named on map.
Who cares? Technically it's an active volcano. If you climb too far down into the crater at the top without oxygen, chances are you won't be climbing out. If it's a snow field that's moving down hill; it's a glacier. What's way cooler to me is that if it erupts while you're on it, you go really big and land in Portland.
