 However , the U.S. Board on Geographic Names had yet to make its decision , which would be official throughout the United States . The name Tulutson Glacier was submitted for consideration , along with Crater Glacier and <unk> Glacier , which would have honored the volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft , killed by a pyroclastic flow in 1991 . In June 2006 , the U.S. BGN chose Crater Glacier because of its two @-@ decade precedent of common use , despite objections from the state of Washington and the United States Forest Service which both preferred Tulutson . The scientists at the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory strongly supported Crater Glacier , and also commented that Tulutson may not be an appropriate name since the volcano " lies inland in a region where the native language was not Cowlitz but Sahaptin .
