Hotel description
General
Glacier Bay, a national park on the southeast coast of Alaska, west of Juno. Park is 13.287 square kilometres, most of which is wild. The Reserves are protected by UNESCO.
The nature of the Gleisher Bay coast is glaciers, a mountain team with snow peaks covered by forests, deep frords, rivers and lakes.
There are very few roads in the park, so cruises and air and helicopter tours are the best way to explore it.
A hundred years ago, the most famous glacier was the Muir glacier 3 kilometres wide and 80 metres high. But the climate is constantly changing, and in 1990, the glacier retreated. To date, tourists have the opportunity to observe the Margerie and Lamplugh glaciers. Leads coming from snow mountains form icebergs. There's a total of 9 glaciers and 4 icebergs.
There are bears in the woods and on the coast, reindeer, and the shore can see whales.
The recreational activities in the park are: fishermen, hyking, rock climbing, rafting, sea walks on catamaras and boats.
