Snowbird Glacier, Alpine glacier in Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska.

Located in a high alpine bowl, Snowbird Glacier extends over one mile along granite peaks, displaying patterns of hard-packed snow and ice formations.

The glacier underwent substantial changes, with its terminus point moving down the slope due to temperature increases over recent decades.

The Snowbird Glacier Hut, built in 2010 by the American Alpine Club, functions as a shared accommodation space for outdoor enthusiasts.

Visitors can reach the glacier through a 10-mile trail from Reed Lakes Trailhead, requiring navigation through steep terrain and snow patches.

The glacier contains moulins, vertical shafts created by meltwater, which form natural drainage systems within the ice structure.
