Logan Glacier (Montana)

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Logan Glacier is a glacier in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana, situated in a cirque northeast of Mount Logan just east of the Continental Divide. The glacier shrank from about 125 acres in 1966 to an estimated 75 acres by 2005, a reduction of roughly 40 percent in about 40 years, and comparison of 1914 and 2009 imagery shows it has undergone extensive retreat.
