Glacier Bay National Park, situated in southeastern Alaska, is a captivating marine wilderness that encompasses glaciers, fjords, and a diverse range of wildlife. The park’s centerpiece is the massive Glacier Bay, a sprawling icy expanse that is home to tidewater glaciers that calve into the ocean. Visitors can witness the dramatic beauty of these glaciers and their ever-changing formations, while also enjoying encounters with humpback whales, sea lions, and bald eagles. Exploring the park by boat or kayak provides a unique opportunity to experience the raw power and tranquility of this remote and awe-inspiring natural wonder. Glacier Bay National Park is a true testament to the beauty and resilience of the Alaskan wilderness. Be sure to visit the park website for current closures and conditions.
