Glacier Bay, located in the southeastern part of the state, is visited by most cruise ships that sail to Alaska because it offers splendid sights and the opportunity to see rich wildlife. The bay stretches 65 miles (105 kilometers) and on its shores is located the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. In the area are present 16 glaciers from which in summer break pieces that forming icebergs and as result this part of the state is great for taking sightseeing tours.
