Lower Glacier Bay with Sitakaday Narrows on the right. Five hundred years ago the only flowing water in this scene would have been rivers crossing a giant outwash plain. The Tlingit inhabitants lived along this outwash plain, fished the streams and had strong ties with the land that are a vital part of modern Tlingit views of homeland, tradition and culture. The glacier eventually surged forward and filled this entire view with ice, driving the Tlingit into nearby areas in Icy Strait. Photographer: Bill Eichenlaub
