Teton Glacier, Glacier in Grand Teton National Park, United States
Teton Glacier extends across 53 acres beneath the north face of Grand Teton, reaching elevations between 13,775 feet and 12,330 feet.
Scientific studies of the glacier began in 1926 when Dr. Fritiof Fryxell conducted detailed surveys of its geological characteristics and movement patterns.
The glacier serves as an educational site where researchers study glacial dynamics and document the effects of temperature changes on ice formations.
Visitors can observe the glacier's features from designated turnouts along Teton Park Road or through hiking trails in Grand Teton National Park.
Since 1971, the glacier has decreased from 64 to 53 acres, marking a significant reduction in its surface area over three decades.
