Glacier Bay was first proclaimed a National Monument in 1925, and was changed to Glacier Bay National Park in 1980. Glacier Bay is located in south Alaska listed as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. The closest towns are Gustavus, Alaska and Bartlett Cove, Alaska, which handle most of the ferry traffic to and from the park. The park's most famous glacier, the Muir Glacier has receded in recent years but at one point was over 2 miles wide and 80 feet tall. Other notable glaciers in the park include the Margerie and Lamplugh glaciers.
