	Glacier Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glacier Bay is a bay in southeastern Alaska, United States.
		Glacier Bay and the surrounding land is the site of the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.
		Plants progressively moved in as the glacier retreated, so a 200-year-old spruce and hemlock forest presently exists at the entrance, grading up to more primitive plants such as mosses and lichens at the head of the bay.

		Because they are so sensitive to temperature fluctuations, glaciers provide clues about the effects of global warming (Oerlemans, J. The 1991 discovery of the 5,000 year-old "ice man" preserved in a glacier in the European Alps fascinated the world, yet the discovery meant that this glacier had reached a 5,000-year minimum.
		Glaciers differ from snow cover and sea ice extent in that scientists cannot use short-term changes in the areal extent of small glaciers as an index of current climatic conditions.
		Glaciers involved in mass balance studies are sparsely distributed over all mountain and subpolar regions, with about 70 percent of the observations coming from the mountains of Europe, North America, and the former Soviet Union.

	TerraNature \| Global warming - glacier reduction in Alaska
		Riggs Glacier, which ran into Muir Glacier in 1941, has been severely reduced and terminates at Muir Inlet.
		But, as the glaciers melt and their load on the plate lessens, there is a greater likelihood of an earthquake happening to relieve the large strain underneath.
		Even though shrinking glaciers make it easier for earthquakes to occur, the forcing together of tectonic plates is the main reason behind major earthquakes.

	Rise and Fall Of Paradise Ice Caves
		In 1967 and early 1968 the glacier front shrank backwards and the ablation continued to enlarge its inner corridors, and passages connecting the Big Room and the Pillar Passage broke down in complexity of collapsing and splintering flakes of ice.
		It was very obvious that no large group of cavers, that were unskilled in glacier caves and glacial travel could follow a safe route to the caves, the only route open across the glacier and down to the caves from the rock and ice.
		The melting of the glacier has caused a number of thin parts in the glacier surface, which can collapse and drop a hiker 15 to 30 feet into the cave system.

		Between 10,000 to 15,000 icebergs are calved each year, primarily from the range between the Humboldt and Jacobshavn glaciers.
		Glaciers are among the most reliable indicators of climate change.
		When travelling on glaciers there is an ever-present danger of falling into a crevasse, so climbers should never travel unroped.

		Vessel use in Glacier Bay is regulated by the National Park Service to protect park wildlife and other resources while providing a range of recreational opportunities to park visitors.
		Glaciers and ice can be very dangerous for all types of vessels.
		Limits on the number of vessels allowed to enter Glacier Bay are intended to enhance the quality of each visitor's experience by protecting air quality and water quality, providing opportunities for wilderness solitude, and promoting the well-being of marine wildlife including fish, seabirds and marine mammals.

		Glacier Bay Cruiselines is no longer an Alaska-native-owned company, but the honor of being named an Official Concessionaire for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve by The National Park Service apparently conveyed along with the purchase of the company, and theirs are the only charter vessels allowed to stay overnight in the park.

		There are multiple entire-colony counts for each year at Margerie Glacier, at least five per year until 1994, when photographic monitoring first started to replace the visual counts after research showed the photographs to be equally accurate, with less effort expended.
		This project aims to monitor Glacier Bay's kittiwakes using methodologies consistent with these other studies so that comparisons can be made, and to develop a photographic monitoring technique that requires less effort than previous techniques had.
		No colonies are currently,known from Glacier Bay's East Arm, although there is a,report of a new Black-legged Kittiwake colony at the Riggs,Glacier in the East Arm, in the summer of 1995 (as of,present this new colony has not yet been counted).

		These normally reflect the Sun's heat from the ground and keep the average temperature down, but as they melt less heat is reflected so more is absorbed by the ground, warming it up further and creating a reinforcing cycle.
		The glaciers are melting at nearly 100 feet per day.

		Late in the Glacier Bay summer, the weather has usually deteriorated and is on the way to absolutely terrible.
		The tides in Glacier Bay are enormous and often dictate departure and arrival times often, because plus or minus twenty five feet of water can make a big difference.

		Here is Ann kayaking about 100 yards from the face of Riggs Glacier.
		Riggs is now grounded at low tide, so there isn't much danger of calving ice.
		However, at some of the other tidewater glaciers, you can get 10 foot high breaking waves when a big chunk of ice falls off, which is not healthy for kayakers.
