Ahern Glacier, Glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States
Ahern Glacier spans between elevations of 8,800 and 8,000 feet on a ridge between Ipasha Peak and Ahern Peak, east of the Continental Divide.
The National Park Service named this glacier after George Patrick Ahern, who served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army.
Scientists regularly monitor this glacier to study climate patterns and environmental changes within the protected lands of Glacier National Park.
Visitors can reach viewing points of the glacier through hiking trails, with the best visibility occurring during summer months from July to September.
The glacier feeds Ahern Glacier Falls, creating a 1,680-foot single drop waterfall that flows directly into Helen Lake below.
