# Pumpelly Glacier

Pumpelly Glacier is in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The glacier is situated immediately northeast of Blackfoot Mountain at an elevation between 8,500 and 8,000 ft (2,600 and 2,400 m) above sea level. Pumpelly Glacier is just west of the Continental Divide and adjacent to Pumpkin Glacier, the two glaciers separated by crevasses. The glacier was named after Raphael Pumpelly who had first sighted the glacier in 1883. Pumpelly and Pumpkin Glaciers cover 310 acres (1.3 $km^2)$ as of 2005, a 15 percent reduction in area since 1966.
