Naturalist John Muir in 1879, the ice had withdrawn a large impressive 48 miles of the bay. Surprisingly, in 1916, his face had turned away 65 miles all the way back to input Tarr Inlet, where it is today. Thus, in only 200 years, these massive glaciers have left us with the beautiful bay 65 miles long that we enjoy now. The glaciers in the bay are extremely active and quite often you get to hear or see "delivery." It occurs when large parts of the glacier breaks off and falls crashing into the bay.
