Fwiw, straight from the horses Glacier National Park's mouth:
https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/natur...rsoverview.htm
Quote:
Every glacier in the park receded between 1966 and 2015.
In 1966 the park had 35 named glaciers large enough to be considered active. By 2015, only 26 named glaciers remained. The average area reduction was 39 percent, though some lost as much as 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue as temperatures rise. Some small remnant ice may persist late into the 21st century or even beyond, depending on how and when we act.

Quote:
Though believed in the early 2000s that most of the glaciers in the park would disappear by the year 2020, more recent studies now give the year 2030 as a more likely date for this disappearance. A study done in 2003 on two glaciers indicated they would be completely gone by the year 2030, though some other glaciers may remain as small isolated ice bodies for a longer duration.
