We know what the problem is with the Two Medicine Webcam. The satellite connection in Two Medicine is offline. The power outage in mid-December must have effected the satellite. When the power came back on (and apparently it is on) the satellite did not reboot itself. It's likely not difficult to fix, except for the fact that the area is inaccessible, except by skis or snowshoes. Currently there are no plans for anyone to go in there. If one of the staff does make it back in, they will probably be able to reset the satellite fairly easily.

So it looks like we are going to be offline there are Two Medicine for some time to come.

Did You Know?
Glacier National park was named for the glaciers that carved, sculpted, and formed this landscape millions of years ago. Despite the recession of current glaciers, the park's name will not change when the glaciers are gone.
