An internationally protected biosphere reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is one of a kind, containing a plethora of natural habitats, flora and fauna. A land once covered entirely in an icy glacier, Glacier Bay now includes spruce forests, rugged tundra, steep fjords and icy rivers. Take a kayak out onto the crystalline waters and watch for humpback or killer whales, or wander the quiet terrain, trying to spot one of 220 species of birds.
