Southeast Alaska Sightings Summary

Did You Know?

Lamplugh Glacier wall of blue ice

When Captain George Vancouver surveyed Southeast Alaska  in 1794, the wall of ice that filled the bay was (at its greatest extent) 100 miles long, 20 miles wide, and 4,000 feet thick.  Just 250 years later, this same ice has retreated 65 miles, the fastest glacial retreat on record.
