More DescriptionKnown by the people of America as the "Backbone of the World" is the Glacier National Park. Located on the US-Canada border, this wonderland is located in the US state of Montana. The Glacier National Park is renowned as a site created during the natural formation of ice mountains landscape in the last ice age. Mythical in both its scenic beauty and the legend tied to its creation, this park has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 1995 and certainly been given the name, Backbone of the World. Affected by the Continental Divide, which operates through the centre of the park and generates two somewhat different environments, the Glacier National Park is an ecological paradise. On the western side, lie the lavish jungles of hemlocks and western forest which are nourished by the famous watersheds of the Pacific. Air, on the eastern side of the park, come from the land, precisely across the Canadian border which renders the environment quite dry. The Glacier National Home is a home to over one thousand indigenous flora species while several hundreds of fauna species have historically been native to this park. An estimated two hundred and seventy-five diversities of birds either live or seasonally migrate to the region. For its flora and fauna treasures, the Glacier National park is regarded as an ecological jewel and called the "Crown of the Continental Ecosystem!"
