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
August 15th
Adams, Casement and I went over this morning to W NW corner of G, where I finished what I had to do there with the P.T. I also took a dozen photos. Morse and McBride made a sled. Mr. Cushing has been quite unwell for a few days with a bad cold. Mr. Muir got back about noon today; he did not go very far.
