Swiftcurrent Glacier, Mountain glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana, US.
The Swiftcurrent Glacier spans across steep terrain at 48.7 degrees north latitude, near the Swiftcurrent Pass Trail in Glacier National Park.
The glacier formed during the last ice age and has steadily decreased in size since the early 1900s due to regional temperature changes.
Native Blackfeet people considered this area sacred and used the surrounding valleys for traditional hunting and gathering practices.
Visitors can access viewing points of the glacier through a 6.1-mile hike on the Swiftcurrent Pass Trail, starting at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn.
The glacier feeds multiple alpine lakes in the valley, including Redrock Lake, which displays red sedimentary formations at its shore.
