The glacier was named after the geologist Samuel Franklin Emmons after his involvement in a survey of Mount Rainier in 1870. Starting at an elevation of over , the Emmons glacier flows down eastward. Near the Disappointment Cleaver at , the Emmons is joined by the Ingraham Glacier flowing to the south.
