Glimpse of Glacier Bay in Alaska, USA

letsGOplaces by Cheryla An Presents Glimpse of Glacier Bay in Alaska, USA Glacier Bay is in southeastern Alaska, about 65 miles northwest of Juneau, the capital of Alaska. It spans over 3.3 million acres, covering glaciers, mountains, forests, and inlets. The bay was entirely covered by ice around 200 years ago but has since receded dramatically due to natural glacier melt. It is part of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a core part of the world's largest protected biosphere. Glacier Bay is rich with marine animals, including humpback whales, orca whales, sea otters, and Steller sea lions. Whale-watching is a popular activity. Glacier Bay is home to over 1,000 glaciers. The most famous one is Margerie Glacier. A tidewater glacier known for its bright blue ice and the frequent calving events where chunks of ice break off into the sea. It is about 21 miles long, 350 feet high, and 1 mile wide. It’s easily accessible via cruise ships and tour boats, offering visitors an up-close view of its towering ice walls and rich surrounding wildlife, including seals, whales, and seabirds. The weather is unpredictable and often cold, even during the summer months (June-August), when most visitors come. Rain is common. #glacierbay #alaska #usanationalparks #alaskacruise #travelvideo Sounds Effect: https://www.zapsplat.com
