Middle Teton Glacier, Alpine glacier in Grand Teton National Park, United States
The Middle Teton Glacier extends along the northeast side of Middle Teton peak, covering an area of 39 acres at an elevation of 11,600 feet.
The first successful ascent of the Middle Teton Glacier route occurred on August 4, 1944, when Paul Bradt and Sterling Hendricks reached the summit.
The glacier serves as a training ground for mountaineers and ice climbers who practice their skills before attempting more complex ascents in the Teton Range.
Between 1967 and 2006, the glacier surface decreased from 52 to 39 acres, indicating substantial ice loss due to environmental changes.
The glacier creates Spalding Falls, an 80-foot cascade that forms when meltwater flows down the northeastern slopes of Middle Teton mountain.
