Glacier Bay
One learns that the world, though made, is yet being made. That this is still the morning of creation. That mountains, long conceived, are now being born, brought to light by the glaciers, channels traced for coming rivers, basins hollowed for lakes. John Muir
Glacier Bay has the highest concentration of tidewater glaciers on the planet. Today 7 tidewater glaciers calve at sea level, and others that reach the sea at high tide.
