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!
Journal I : Expedition to Glacier Bay, Alaska, Summer 1890
July 13th
Sunday. After breakfast today we all assembled in the tent and each read aloud a chapter from the Bible; after that the morning was consumed [by] writing etc. In the afternoon, Morse Adams, McBride Casement and I took the boat [and] rowed around the creek stream and had a scramble on the mountain behind our camp. Morse develops a talent for climbing.
