Grinnell Glacier

Grinnell Glacier is a prominent, rapidly shrinking glacier located in Glacier National Park in Montana. Named after explorer George Bird Grinnell, it sits on the slopes of Mount Gould and is a key feature of the park’s stunning landscape. The glacier forms from accumulated snow and ice, slowly flowing down the mountain side. Due to climate change, it has significantly receded over the past century, serving as a visible indicator of global warming. Visitors often view the glacier through hiking trails and scenic overlooks, observing firsthand how climate shifts impact mountain ecosystems.
