Description

Iceberg lake is one of the more popular day hikes in Many Glacier. And there's no wondering why. It's a small Glacial Tarn lake with an active glacier dumping ice into the lake. Iceberg lake's icebergs are created by a small Cirque Glacier that occupies a Cirque with towering cliffs thousands of feet overhead. It's a spectacularly beautiful and rugged place.
