Description

I was not prepared for either the sights or the sounds of a glacier calving, and splashing into the almost iridescent blue water of Glacier Bay in Alaska. The cracking, splintering, groaning, crashing, and splashing sounds were heady stuff indeed. I didn't have a very good camera with me on this cruise, but as is commonly said, "The best camera is the one that you have with you."

Wild, Resilient, and Sacred.....

From the bottom of the deepest glacial fjord to the summit of its highest peak, Glacier Bay encompasses some of our continent's most amazing scenery and wildness. It is a land reborn, a world returning to life, a living lesson in resilience. If ever we needed a place to intrigue and inspire us, this is it. Glacier Bay is a homeland, a living laboratory, a national park, a designated wilderness, a biosphere reserve, and a world heritage site. It's a marine park, where great adventure awaits by boating into inlets, coves and hideaway harbors. It's also a land park, with its snow-capped mountains, spectacular glaciers, and emerald–green forests. From the summit to sea, Glacier Bay's wildness is remote, dynamic and intact.
