Conness Glacier, Alpine glacier in Sierra Nevada, California.
The glacier sits on the northeast side of Mount Conness at 11,548 feet elevation, extending across steep terrain and rocky formations.
Formed during previous ice ages, this glacier has steadily diminished in size since scientific measurements began in the early 20th century.
Research teams regularly visit the glacier to study climate patterns and document changes in ice mass throughout different seasons.
Visitors can reach the glacier through trails from Saddlebag Lake, requiring proper hiking equipment and awareness of high-altitude conditions.
This glacier stands as the largest ice mass north of Tioga Pass in the Sierra Nevada, measuring 0.15 miles in length.
