Stanton Glacier, Glacier in Flathead National Forest, Montana, United States.

Stanton Glacier is a glacier on the northeast slope of Great Northern Mountain in Flathead National Forest. The ice mass sits at high elevation on a steep mountain face.

The glacier has been documented through aerial imagery since 1925, making it an important site for monitoring ice changes. This long record allows researchers to track how the ice has shifted over the decades.

Stanton Glacier lies in a cirque on the northeast slope of Great Northern Mountain, 8,705 ft high, and sits about 1 mile northwest of Grant Glacier. The U.S. Geological Survey's Glacier Monitoring Research program selected it for monitoring of glacier mass balance in and around Glacier National Park.

Stanton Glacier sits in a cirque on the northeast slope of Great Northern Mountain, about 1 mile northwest of Grant Glacier. No maintained trail reaches it, so access requires route-finding through Flathead National Forest; the nearest trailhead is near West Glacier. Snow and ice persist at high elevation, and weather can change quickly.

The glacier feeds a natural water system that sustains mountain ecosystems long after the ice melts. This meltwater supports habitats for wildlife that depend on constant water sources.
