Description :
The extent of the lastglacial icecap over the northern Rocky Mountains of Montana has been inferred only from cursory correlation of its marginal deposits, which leaves several significant unresolved controversies. Those controversies all involve the maximum altitude and shape of that interconnected ice mass, and include 1) the source of the Two Medicine piedmont lobe (local or cordilleran ice), 2) correlation of terminal deposits of the Flathead lobe, and 3) regional paleoclimate at last glacial maximum.
