Could you survive Glacier Bay? Find out how many animals and people do that every day with this National Park program. Email address is required to register.
Glacier Bay is a vast wilderness that is home to many animals, including birds, mammals, fish and, historically, people. Each animal has special adaptations to survive in the cold waters and snowy mountains of Glacier Bay. Explore some of these adaptations through an interactive program with a Glacier Bay National Park ranger. Utilizing green screen technology, the ranger will share what makes Glacier Bay and the animals who live here so special.
