Glacier Bay<br> Alaska picture - The great glacier Muir describes reached its maximum extent--well beyond today's visitor center and into the Icy (now iceless) Strait--around 1750, a generation before Captain Cook sailed right by. Muir first came in 1879. By then the glacier had retreated over 40 miles.
