Looking toward the mouth of
Glacier Bay. It is difficult to
imagine that in 1794, the HMS
Discovery under the command of
Capt. Vancouver encountered a
glacier terminus 1,000 ft. tall
covering what would become the
mouth of Glacier Bay. Today
you have to travel 60 miles up
bay to reach tidewater glaciers.

at left and below, Scidmore Slit
Hide Tide, 1995. The north end
of Hugh Miller Inlet is connected
to the main part of Glacier Bay
by a thin, shallow, slit that has
sufficent water for a sea kayak to
navigate only at high tide.
Glacier rebound is slowly
reclaiming this passageway.
