| Caption : | Change is Glacier Bay’s middle name, and the upper parts of the bay are places where the landscape has changed dramatically during our own lifetimes. When my friend, Rusty, kayaked these waters in the 1970s they were thick with icebergs and seals. Muir Glacier is now 'grounded', meaning it no longer extends into the ocean. The land that was recently covered with ice now grows the early pioneer plants shown at my feet – dryas and alder. Once established, alder grows fast, putting on 2 - 3 feet per year. In another ten or fifteen years the view from my resting place will be a very short one and getting there will be a slog through a dense thicket of intertwining shrubs. |
