Nature
Teepe Glacier is a small glacier in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, below the northeast face of Teepe Pillar and just southeast of Grand Teton in the rugged Cathedral Group of the Teton Range. It is significant for its dramatic recent shrinkage. Between 1967 and 2006, its surface area fell by about 60 percent, from 13 acres to 5 acres. This decline places it among the small glaciers of the American West whose retreat has been clearly documented over time.
