The ocean and land environments in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve are closely intertwined. Marine waters make up nearly one fifth of the park and no point of land is more than 30 miles from the coast. This means that the lives of virtually all the animals at Glacier Bay are tied to its productive marine waters or the biologically rich shorelines. ![]() Bears at Glacier BayBiology, distribution, diet, safety, identification, photo gallery. ![]() Wildlife Viewing CalendarVisiting the park in the summer?
