Grinnell Glacier taken from the Grinnell Glacier Overlook off the Highline Trail, Glacier National Park.

The view of Grinnell Glacier taken circa 1940 shows the early formation of Upper Grinnell Lake, a proglacier lake visible at the terminus of the glacier. The 2006 photo shows a dramatic increase in the size of the lake as a result of melting ice.
