Siyeh Glacier

Siyeh Glacier is located in the U.S. state of Montana in Glacier National Park. The glacier lies in a deep cirque to the north of Mount Siyeh at an elevation between 7,200 feet (2,200 m) and 6,800 feet (2,100 m) above sea level. The glacier covers an area of less than 10 acres (0.040 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. Siyeh Glacier has experienced massive retreat and lost over 73 percent of its surface area between 1966 and 2005.
