Ipasha Glacier is located in the US state of Montana in Glacier National Park. The glacier is situated in a cirque to the southeast of Chaney Glacier and immediately east of the Continental Divide at an elevation between 8000feet and 7600feet above sea level.[3] The glacier covers an area of approximately 52acres as measured in 2005, which is a third smaller than it was in 1966.[2] Melt water from the glacier flows over Ipasha Falls en route to Ipasha Lake.
