The town of Gustavus lies on a broad plain at the entrance to Glacier Bay National Park. This vast wilderness area is bordered by the Fairweather mountain range to the West, with majestic peaks rising 15,000 feet from the sea, creating massive ice flows which carve their way to tidewater in the pristine bay.
Glacier Bay National Park spans over 4,000 square miles and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve.
