This data release consists of a time series of digitized glacier margins for the 37 named glaciers of Glacier National Park (GNP) and two glaciers on U.S. Forest Service’s Flathead National Forest land. The polygons represent the main body portion of each glacier as analyzed from aerial imagery from the years 1966, 1998, 2005 and 2015. Disconnected patches are not included as this dataset represents only the main body features of the named glaciers in GNP and environs. File attributes list specific source imagery.
