Glacier Bay is located in the panhandle of Alaska.  When it was discovered in 1750
the glaciers came out into the bay 50 miles further than they do today.  It is 3.3
million acres of pure nature and is visited by 432,000 a year.

Margerie Glacier is a mile across
and the largest glacier in the park.

many glaciers.
Margerie Glacier is constantly
calving ice.  It makes a sharp

The sharp rise of the mountains
