In 1890 & 1892, Harry Fielding Reid traveled to Glacier Bay, Alaska. During the expedition, Reid mapped Glacier Bay, collaborated with John Muir, measured the movement of the glaciers, created sketches and made photographs of the glaciers, and produced 24 notebooks.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has transcribed these expedition notebooks, so you can follow along with Reid's expeditions and experience Glacier Bay as he saw it over 100 years ago!

Today Morse Adams and I solved triangles all day. Cushing, Casement and McBride went to the 2nd island. York has been sick for the last two or three days and has been unable to do any work, thus throwing the cooking etc on us. Stomach trouble.
