古冰与海相遇的地方(Where ancient ice meets the sea)

把这个特殊的地方想象成两个不同的阿拉斯加州相遇的地方——辽阔冰冷的北部和碧绿的南部海洋。冰川湾是以该地区的主要特征命名的，冰的河流切割景观，并周期性地将冰山崩解入海中。1925年2月26日，美国总统卡尔文·柯立芝宣布海湾周围的大部分土地为国家纪念碑。但1980年，保护区得到了极大的扩展，当时一片330万英亩的冰川、峡湾、雨林、海岸线和山峰被命名为国家公园和保护区。

Think of this special spot as the place where two different Alaskas meet – its vast icy north and its verdant maritime south. Glacier Bay is named for this area’s dominant feature, the rivers of ice that carve the landscape and periodically calve icebergs into the sea. On February 26, 1925, US President Calvin Coolidge declared much of the land around the bay a national monument. But the protected area was greatly expanded in 1980, when a 3.3-million-acre expanse of glaciers, fjords, rainforest, coastline, and mountain peaks was named a national park and preserve.
