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 2nd
Another fine day. Prof. Muir, Mr. Loomis, Morse and I, Adams and I sailed across the inlet, and planted two flags on points F. (Black) and G. (Black). Fine news of mountains. The tributaries of the Glacier from N.W. are very long and large. Much wood found on 1st island. It was very late when we got home. Morse and Cushing planted a red flag at E.
