The Salamander Glacier, Ice mass in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.
The Salamander Glacier extends across a shelf on the east side of the Continental Divide at 7,200 feet above sea level.
Originally connected to Grinnell Glacier, the ice mass separated before 1929 due to substantial glacial retreat in the surrounding region.
Scientists from the United States Geological Survey monitor the glacier to study climate patterns and document changes in Montana's alpine environment.
Visitors can observe the glacier during the hiking season from April through October by following the Grinnell Glacier Trail from Many Glacier.
The glacier measured 42 acres in 2005, showing a reduction of 23 percent from its previous size in 1966.
