Glacier National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Montana, on the Canada–United States border.The park encompasses more than 1 million acres (4,100 km 2) and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), more than 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals.
At the end of the Little Ice Age about 1850, the area containing the national park had 150 glaciers. There are 25 active glaciers remaining in the park as of 2022. Since the latest interglacial period began around 10,000 years ago, there have been regular climate shifts causing periods of glacier growth or melt-back.
