Baby Glacier is a small glacier in Glacier National Park in Montana, sitting in a cirque on the northeast slope of Numa Peak at an elevation between about 6,800 and 7,200 feet. It covers approximately 19 acres, below the roughly 25-acre threshold often cited as the minimum size for an active glacier, and it lost a third of its surface area between 1966 and 2005.
