Miche Wabun Glacier is a glacier remnant (glacieret) in the U.S. state of Montana in the northeastern region of Glacier National Park. The glacieret is situated in a cirque to the east of Goat Haunt Mountain.[3] Miche Wabun Glacier was measured in 2010 to have retreated to less than 25acres in area, considered to be a minimal size to qualify as being considered an active glacier.[4] Between 1966 and 2005, the glacier lost over 55 percent of its surface area.[2]
