Grand Pacific Glacier buried Glacier Bay 250 years ago. Today we cruised 60 miles north to see the dark, rocky face of the glacier, and the beautiful white face of Margerie Glacier next to it. The recently uncovered shores and waters have transformed into a rich habitat for mountain goats, brown bears, Steller sea lions, sea otters and humpback whales, all of which we observed during the day.
