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 4th
We intended to lay off a [fuse?] line today, but took all the morning getting out our instruments and getting them in adjustment. After lunch, Morse Adams and I sailed down the inlet, put flags at stations D (wh) and C (red). We also took angles with transit 3123 at these point[s]. Mr. Cushing went off for a climb with Prof. Muir.
