Blue color, lots of calving action, and a food buffet steps away. There are no roads to Glacier Bay, no hiking needed to get here; it's only accessible by boat or plane. Most visitors come to the park on large cruise ships, and the benefit of having a hot meal moments after watching the ice fall into the bay is helpful. The Visitor's Center is accessible only by small boat or by air from nearby town of Gustavus.
