Herbst Glacier

Herbst Glacier is located in the U.S. state of Montana in Glacier National Park. The glacier is northeast of Mount Custer at an elevation between 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level. The glacier covers an area of approximately 13 acres (0.053 sq km) and does not meet the threshold of 25 acres (0.10 sq km) often cited as being the minimum size to qualify as an active glacier. Between 1966 and 2005, the glacier lost almost 70 percent of its acreage.
