Crowfoot Glacier

Crowfoot Glacier is a mountain glacier on the northeastern flank of Crowfoot Mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, about 32 kilometers northwest of Lake Louise and visible from the Icefields Parkway. It is roughly 1.5 kilometers long today, having retreated substantially since the end of the Little Ice Age, when it was connected to the Wapta Icefield and still displayed the lobe that gave the glacier its crow's-foot shape and name; as recently as the 1980s it was reckoned part of a small five square kilometer icefield. Meltwater from the glacier drains eastward into the Bow River from the continental divide.
