Agassiz Glacier, Glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.
Agassiz Glacier is a large expanse of ice situated southeast of Kintla Peak near the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park. The glacier feeds multiple waterways that flow through the surrounding mountain terrain.
The glacier formed during the last ice age and represents a remnant of that period. Over recent decades, the ice has been shrinking noticeably.
Scientists regularly conduct research at this site using remote sensing equipment and repeat photography to document glacial changes over time.
Access to this location requires hiking through mountain trails, and visitors should be ready for changing weather conditions at high elevation. Proper footwear and preparation are important for a safe visit.
Tree ring samples collected near Agassiz Glacier provide data about historical climate patterns and the extent of glacial movements.
