USA ~ Glacier Bay National Park - Alaska ~

... Lovely vintage poster postcard printed by Lantern Press... high mountain peaks, ice-sculpted fjords, an abundance of marine wildlife, and massive tidewater glaciers have made Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve one of Alaska's most spectacular settings... many of the activities in the park are water-focused, with the most popular being boat tours, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, glacier viewing, and whale watching... 90% of tourists visiting the glacier use cruise ships... also this time with unique special National Parks stamp cancellation👍💙... Big Thanks once more Andrene!!(✿ ♥‿♥)
