Alaska, drive through the Glacier Bay NP

in the south of the country,

The glaciers of the national park are of scientific importance, as they now mark the retreat of a smaller ice age 4000 years ago.

When Captain George Vancouver explored the region in 1794, the bay was almost completely filled with ice from the glaciers. Several kilometers wide, over 1000 m high.
