Glacier Bay National Park And Preserve Traveler Patch

Seven tidewater glaciers slowly flow to the sea at this Southeast Alaska park. Watching the glaciers calve – when huge chunks break off from the edges and splash dramatically into the frigid water – thrills visitors observing from boats or ships. Accessible only by boat or plane, Glacier Bay encompasses 3.3 million acres of spectacular wilderness encompassing its massive glaciers, towering mountains, temperate rainforests and a wild coastline home to a fascinating array of marine mammals.
