The Grand Pacific Glacier

The Grand Pacific Glacier

It might not look like much, but the Grand Pacific Glacier used to fill all of Glacier Bay, giving the bay its name, extending 100 km from its current terminus. The toe of the glacier is 2.5 km wide. Only a couple of kilometres from the end of the water is Canada.
