Glacier Bay National Park is a 3.3 million acre US National Park that is located in southeast Alaska, a bit west of Juneau. Glacier Bay was formed by a large glacier that retreated 65 miles over the last 250 years -- creating a spectacular collection of inlets and breathtaking glaciers -- and it can only be accessed by plane or boat.
According to the National Park Service, Glacier Bay National Park -- which should not be confused with Glacier National Park in northwest Montana -- is home to 1,045 glaciers. The longest glacier is Grand Pacific Glacier and the fastest moving glacier is Johns Hopkins Glacier.
Both glaciers were part of our visit to Glacier Bay National Park while sailing the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam with our little JellyBean during our Alaskan cruise in late May of 2019.
