Distant view of tidewater glacier calving into Glacier Bay National Park, with large splashes of water and ice.

A side of one of the beautiful glaciers to be found in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska.

As a chunk of Alaskan glacier breaks off, it gives a sound of a large boom. Formed over thousands of years by accumulation of snow and ice. The ice can tower for hundreds of feet high and span miles across. The blue color of Alaskan glaciers is a stunning shade, created by composition of snow and ice over many years.

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA.

Glacier Bay Basin in southeastern Alaska, in the United States, encompasses the Glacier Bay and surrounding mountains and glaciers, which was first proclaimed a U.S. National Monument on February 25, 1925, and which was later, on December 2, 1980, enlarged and designated as the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, covering an area of 3,283,000 acres (1,329,000 ha). In 1986, UNESCO declared an area of 57,000 acres (23,000 ha) within a World Biosphere Reserve. This is the largest UNESCO protected biosphere in the world. In 1992, UNESCO included this area as a part of a World Heritage site, extending over an area of 24,300,000-acre (98,000 km2) which also included the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Kluane National Park (Canada) and Tatshenshini-Alsek Park (Canada). Part of the National Park is also designated a Wilderness area covering 2,658,000 acres (1,076,000 ha)
