Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve consists of 3.3 million acres in southeastern Alaska and boasts a dynamic terrain of mountains, glaciers, rainforest, coastlines, and fjords. It is the jewel of Alaska’s Inside Passage, a portion of a 25-million acre and internationally protected World Heritage Site, and home to the Tlingit. Teeming with diverse wildlife, at the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve visitors can catch a glimpse or hear the sounds of harbor seals, humpback whales, brown bears, salmon, moose, and glacial ice exploding.
In this gallery, Glacier Bay, we represent the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve with digitized maps made available in the University of Kentucky Libraries’ collection. Before browsing the maps, take a look at Charley Harper’s commissioned work, Glacier Bay, interpreting the dramatic, changing landscape and variety of wildlife in Alaska’s southeastern region.
