Snowbank Glacier is in the Beartooth Mountains, U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated at an elevation of 10,600 feet (3,200 m) above sea level and is immediately east of Snowbank Mountain. [2] The glacier is in two sections, a west and east lobe, each about equal in area at 60 acres (0.24 km2). A proglacial lake can be found at the northern terminus of the west lobe.
East Torrey Glacier is located in Shoshone National Forest, in the U.S. state of Wyoming on the east side of the Continental Divide in the northern Wind River Range. Situated in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness, East Torrey Glacier is part of the largest grouping of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains and is immediately east of Continental Glacier and north of Downs Mountain. The glacier has three separate lobes and has retreated well above two proglacial lakes.
Mammoth Glacier is in the Bridger Wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The glacier is on the west side of the Continental Divide which separates it from Dinwoody Glacier to the east. Mammoth Glacier is the largest glacier on the west side of the Continental Divide of the Wind River Range and occupies a large, north facing cirque on the north slopes of Twin Peaks and just west of Mount Woodrow Wilson. Mammoth Glacier is part of the largest grouping of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains.
Foley Glacier is a glacier about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long flowing north from the western end of Thurston Island just east of Cape Petersen. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Kevin M. Foley, of the United States Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia, a computer specialist and team member of the Glaciological and Coastal-Change Maps of Antarctica Project.
Goldsmith Glacier is a glacier flowing west-northwest through the Theron Mountains of Antarctica, 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Tailend Nunatak. It was first mapped in 1956–57 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) and named for Rainer Goldsmith, medical officer with the advance party of the CTAE in 1955-56.
Matthews Glacier is a glacier on the east side of the Wilkins Mountains, Antarctica, draining south to enter the Ronne Ice Shelf just west of Dodson Peninsula. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for J.D. Matthews, an engineman at South Pole Station in 1963.

Sundance Glacier is in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated in the Beartooth Mountains at an elevation of 10,600 feet (3,200 m) above sea level and is immediately northeast of Castle Rock Mountain. The glacier covers approximately 70 acres (0.28 km2) and is located in a deep cirque below Castle Rock Mountain.
McDonald Glacier is in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated in the Mission Mountains at an elevation of 8,600 feet (2,600 m) above sea level and is immediately north of McDonald Peak. The glacier covers approximately 45 acres (0.18 km2) and is located in a cirque below McDonald Peak.

Hidden Glacier is located in the US state of Montana. The glacier is situated in the Beartooth Mountains at an elevation of 10,500 feet (3,200 m), nestled within a cirque between Mount Villard to the east and Glacier Peak to the west. The glacier covers approximately 10 acres (0.040 km2).
Sky Top Glacier is in the Beartooth Mountains in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated at an elevation of 11,600 feet (3,500 m) in a cirque to the west of Granite Peak, the tallest summit in Montana. The glacier covers approximately 25 acres (0.10 km2) and a small proglacial lake is near the glacier terminus.
Wolf Glacier is in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated in the Beartooth Mountains at an elevation of 11,000 feet (3,400 m) in a north facing cirque to the east of Wolf Mountain. The glacier covers approximately 80 acres (0.32 km2) and several small proglacial lakes are near the glacier terminus.
The West Mountains are a mountain range in the U.S. state of Idaho, spanning part of Boise and Payette national forests. The highest point in the range is Snowbank Mountain at an elevation of 8,320 feet (2,540 m) above sea level. The range is bordered to the east by the Payette River and the North Fork Payette River, which separate the range from the Boise Mountains.
Snowbank Mountain is the highest point in the West Mountains, in Boise National Forest, Idaho with a summit elevation of 8,320 feet (2,540 m) above sea level. It is located 21.92 miles (35.28 km) from Nick Peak, its line parent, giving it a prominence of 3,080 feet (940 m). The east side of Snowbank Mountain is drained by the North Fork Payette River, while the west side is drained by Squaw Creek, which is also a tributary of the Payette River.
Snowbank Mountain is in the Beartooth Mountains in the U.S. state of Montana. The peak is in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness in Custer National Forest. The tiny Snowbank Glacier lies immediately southeast of the peak.
Lake Jordan was a glacial lake formed during the late Pleistocene along the Jordan River. After the Laurentide Ice Sheet retreated, water melting off the glacier accumulated between the Rocky Mountains and the ice sheet. The lake drained along the front of the ice sheet, eastward towards the Yellowstone River and Glacial Lake Glendive.
Lake Circle was a glacial lake that formed during the late Pleistocene epoch along the Redwater River in eastern Montana. After the Laurentide Ice Sheet retreated, glacial ice melt accumulated in the basin surrounded by the ridges of the preglacial valley and the retreating glacier. Southwest of Nickwall are the remnants of a broad abandoned valley with long side slopes. The valley runs north from Redwater Creek to the Missouri River. The bottom is poorly drained and about 1 mile (1.6 km) in width. It lies 2,015 to 2,020 feet above the sea level and 40 to 50 feet above the Missouri River bottomland. The upland slopes are extensive, clear and flat. The valleys surrounding it are dissected with V-shaped coulees. The difference between the Redwater valley and those around it reflect stream erosion vs. lake sedimentation. The drift in the valleys, appears to be as left by the glacier in the previously created valleys. Using the dating of lake deposits near Great Falls, Montana, the Havre lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet dammed the ancestral Missouri River during the late Wisconsin Glacial Period.
