The images of this Virtual Vista represent one of the most breathtaking of
the United States national parks - Glacier National Park - which straddles
the northern border of the United States and Canada (Waterton Glaciers National
Park). Digital terrain models of four 7.5-minute quadrangles located in Glacier
National Park, Montana, USA were rendered using Geographic Information System
software.
The result is a remarkably realistic looking virtual landscape illustrating
many of the alpine glacial landforms you studied in class.
