As we sail 65 miles into this glacial fjord, we are folllowing in the wake of the fastest glacial retreat in recorded history. There is spectacular scenery and magnificent wildlife and we have 2 park rangers on board that are answering all of our questions and share some of the highlights of the day.
Glaciers form because snowfall in the high mountains exceeds snowmelt. Tidewater glaciers, those that reach the sea, are formed in only 3 places on earth: Chile, Scandinavia and Alaska.
