Baby Glacier is situated in a cirque on the northeast slope of Numa Peak at an elevation between {{convert|7200|ft|m}} and {{convert|6800|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The glacier covers approximately {{convert|19|acre|km2}} and does not meet the threshold of {{convert|25|acre|km2}} often cited as being the minimum size to qualify as an active glacier. Between 1966 and 2005, Baby Glacier lost a third of its surface area.[2] See also
