Talk:Glacier Bay Basin

Help
I am new to this, and was unable to find a way to "discuss" without going to the "edit" page. I quote below from the existing page on Glacier Bay.

Doing the math, isn't a 65 mile retreat in 200 years (.325 miles per year) actually greater than the "up to a quarter of a mile per year" that is being attributed to "current local climate conditions due to global warming"? It would appear a "recent" or "current" global warming bias has been introduced into this page, when maybe a better phrasing would be that "the glacial retreat is continuing at a rate of up to a quarter mile per year", without ascribing any new blame for the retreat.

Date?
a large single glacier of solid ice till early 18th century Since the bay wasn't recorded by European til 1740s, isn't "the early 19th century" intended?--Wetman (talk) 16:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Russians saw the area first in 1749 and later Captain Vancouver saw the glacier in 1790 (pl see history section) it was still one mass of ice. However, it was named Galcier Bay in the 19th century.-- N.V.V. Char     Talk. 08:30, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Flora and fauna
The flora and fauna section requires cleanup, as many of the links point to generic species groups, such as crow and cormorant. I'm not sure which species are present here as I don't know the area very well. AustinRedd007 (talk) 10:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
