* Sail to Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, a United Nations World Heritage
Site. Comprised of 3.3 million acres of natural wonders, it is home to magnificent
glaciers, snow-capped mountains and abundant birds and wildlife.
* Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve contains some of the world's most
impressive tidewater glaciers. The bay has experienced at least four major
glacial advances and four major retreats and serves as an outdoor research
laboratory. Mountains rise right from its tidewater up to three vertical miles.
The dramatic variety of plant communities ranges from barren terrain just
recovering from glacial retreat to lush temperate rain forest.
