Glacier Bay, Alaska - Glacier Bay in Alaska - Glacier Bay from perspective. This image...

IMAGE number
PIX4672471
Image title
Glacier Bay, Alaska - Glacier Bay in Alaska - Glacier Bay from perspective. This image is the result of joint observations made by the Landsat-7 satellite in visible and infrared, combined with elevation radar data obtained by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) in February 2000. At the bottom left of the picture, the Brady Glacier. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve lies on the Pacific Coast of Alaska south of the St. Elias mountain range. The bay was set aside as a National Monument in 1925 and became its current National Park and Preserve in 1980, when approximately 85 percent of the park was designated a Wilderness Area. It has since been recognized as a UN Biosphere Reserve, in 1986, and a World Heritage Site, in 1992. The water in the foreground in the southwest (bottom left) corner of the image is the Gulf of Alaska, with Icy Strait running roughly west to east (horizontally) in from Cape Spencer where the strait meets the Pacific. The foreground glacier is the Brady Glacier. The light gray feature at the foot of the glacier is fine silt dropped by the glacier as it melts. The glacier's meltwater washes the silt into the Strait, coloring the shallow waters light blue as the silt mixes. The long finger of water dominating the entire scene is Glacier Bay itself. The Grand Pacific Glacier now terminates well above Tar Inlet, the finger of water stretching furthermost north (up) at the top of Glacier Bay. The first major inlet on the east (right) coming up from the mouth of Glacier Bay is Muir Inlet. The glaciers feeding into the bay terminated here around 1860. The body of water paralleling the Bay on the eastern edge is Lynn Canal, a body of water also draining into Icy Strait beyond the eastern boundary of the park. This image is a visualization created by merging imagery from the Landsat 7 satellite's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM +) instrument with elevation data from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED).
