Introduction

Glacier Bay National Park is located in southeastern Alaska, adjacent to Canada. The park boasts beautiful scenery and intact ecosystems, and the movement of glaciers has created charming needle-shaped peaks, steep cliffs, and lovely glacier blue. The lush green vegetation gradually changes from the mountains to the seaside, mainly consisting of alpine fir trees. The coastal oceanic climate is cool and humid in summer and mild and moist in winter, while the high-altitude inland areas have a cold climate. American naturalist John Muir described the beautiful scenery here as "the mountaintops seem to burn like red-hot iron" and observed that the colorful aurora gradually dissipated into pale yellow and white. Tourists can see sea lions, seals swimming in the sea, and occasionally bald eagles flying, and the stunning scenery here is still unforgettable. Currently, cruise ships and airplanes are the only means of transportation to reach the park since there are no roads connecting it to the outside world.
