Icy Bay

United States · Alaska

Icy Bay is a wild bay on the Gulf of Alaska coast, backed by the St. Elias Mountains — the tallest coastal mountains on Earth. Formed by the retreat of three glaciers over the past century, its waters fill with calved ice beneath Mount St. Elias. Expedition cruises navigate among the bergs to see the glacier faces, seals hauled on ice, seabirds, and the immense mountain wall of the Wrangell-St. Elias region rising from the sea.
