Cloud Peak Glacier, Active glacier in Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming, United States.
Cloud Peak Glacier spans 55 acres at an elevation of 11,800 feet, featuring a proglacial lake and scree formations at its terminus.
Measurements between 1905 and 2005 revealed the glacier volume decreased from 506 million cubic feet to 78 million cubic feet of ice.
Native American tribes of Wyoming maintain connections to the Cloud Peak area through traditional narratives and ancestral ties to the land.
Visitors need mountaineering equipment and altitude preparation to reach the glacier, which requires navigation through challenging Bighorn National Forest terrain.
Scientists predict this final remaining glacier in the Bighorn Mountains might disappear completely between 2020 and 2034 due to climate changes.
