Recently, a group of paddlers discovered such a place.
Icy Bay is well-named.
And if Muir had explored this region in his day, he would not have encountered Icy Bay at all, only a massive tongue of ice, lapping at the Pacific Ocean. Icy Bay now stretches 40 miles inland, and varies from four to ten miles wide. Its south shore is protected from the crashing waves of the open Pacific by a long, low neck of sand, the Pt. Riou spit, which marks the last forward advance of the glaciers. In between is 40 miles of unsurpassed wilderness, a paddling and camping paradise.
