Agassiz Glacier, Glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.
Located southeast of Kintla Peak, Agassiz Glacier spreads across 256 acres at an elevation of 2,336 meters near the Continental Divide.
The glacier has decreased by one-third of its surface area between 1966 and 2005, marking significant changes in Montana's mountain landscape.
Scientists regularly conduct research at this site using remote sensing equipment and repeat photography to document glacial changes over time.
The glacier feeds surrounding rivers and streams with meltwater throughout the year, supporting the local water systems and mountain ecosystems.
Tree ring samples collected near Agassiz Glacier provide data about historical climate patterns and the extent of glacial movements.
