This photo was taken from the low moraine that separates two glacier dammed lakes. Some of the tall dead trees at the far end of the lake are over 100 feet high, yet they have been submerged and exposed repeatedly as the lake level fluctuates. Yet for these trees to have grown so tall there must have been a time when the lake level remained low for many years. There are many aspects to how Glacier Bay's landscape evolves and changes that challenge scientists and intrigue inquisitive hikers.
