Nature
Chaney Glacier lies in a cirque southeast of Mount Kipp on the eastern side of the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park, Montana. It is one of the park’s monitored glaciers and part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Glacier Monitoring Research program, which studies changing glacier mass balance in and around the park. Researchers use remote sensing equipment and repeat photography from the same locations over time to measure change. Since 1911, the glacier has retreated considerably, and from 1966 to 2005 it lost more than 29 percent of its surface area.
