Der '''Jorge-Montt-Gletscher''' ist ein ins Meer mündender und [[Kalben (Glaziologie)|kalbender]] [[Gletscher]] in der [[Región de Aysén|Region Aysén]] in [[Chile]], südlich der Stadt [[Tortel|Caleta Tortel]].

Er liegt am nördlichen Ende des Gletschergebiets [[Südliches Patagonisches Eisfeld]] (in dem es auch wachsende Gletscher gibt), im [[Nationalpark Bernardo O’Higgins]]. Die Mündung des [[Río Pascua]] liegt in der Nähe der Stelle, an der der Gletscher kalbt.

<!-------
The total drainage area of the glacier is about {{convert|510|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}. The glacier’s ice is thinning most at low elevations, where air temperature is the highest. Ice thinning between 1975 and 2000 averaged {{convert|3.3|m|abbr=on}} per year over the entire glacier, and reached {{convert|18|m|abbr=on}} per year at the lowest elevations. The glacier calving front experienced a major retreat of {{convert|8.5|km|abbr=on}} in those 25 years as a result of rapid thinning.<ref name="nasa"/> The glacier calves off icebergs into the [[Baker Channel]].

2011 erschienen Zeitraffer-Aufnahmen vom Gletscher – er war 2010 und 2011 mehrmals täglich fotografiert worden. In dieser Zeit wurde er um etwa einen Kilometer kürzer.<ref>Juan Francisco Veloso Olguin: [http://www.santiagotimes.cl/chile/environment/23035-jorge-montt-glacier-the-fastest-shrinking-in-chile-study-finds ''Jorge Montt glacier the fastest shrinking in Chile, study finds'']
<!--- "The study was presented by glaciologist and CECs researcher Andrés Rivera, who focused his investigation on changes in the glacier between February 2010 and January 2011. Using a series of 1,445 photos taken throughout this period, scientists found that the glacier shrank roughly 82 feet each day, receding more than half a mile in the course of the year."--->
