LIVE CAMERA NETWORK
Glacier Bay National Park Webcams — Live
8 live cameras within 10 km of Gustavus, the park’s gateway town — Gustavus Dock cameras and the park's own weather. Free, no signup.
Glacier Bay has no road in. The gateway is Gustavus — a bush community of one runway and a dock, reached by air or water — and Bartlett Cove, the park headquarters, lies 16 km up the shore. The catalogue’s cameras are Gustavus’s own: four FAA weather cameras at the airfield and four at the dock where the day boats and the ferry tie up.
That is the whole wall, stated plainly: eight working cameras in the park’s front yard. They read the bay’s weather honestly — the marine layer, the rain bands coming off the Fairweather Range, the dock on a cruise morning — which is the information every Glacier Bay day is planned around.
Best time to watch Glacier Bay
The dock cameras are the day’s first read: tour and day-boat weather in Glacier Bay is made by the marine layer, and Gustavus shows it lifting (or not) in real time. Long summer evenings are the bay’s glory — sunset here, computed below, comes late enough to watch over dinner.
Sun times are computed for the park's coordinates (58.41, -135.73) in its local timezone — astronomy, not a forecast. Pair them with the live weather above before you plan around them.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to use the Glacier Bay wall
- 1Start with the named cameras: the highlights at the top of this page are the wall's anchor viewpoints — open them first for the park itself.
- 2Read the weather like a ranger: the live conditions panel and the cameras together beat any forecast — if the gateway is clear and the viewpoint is in cloud, believe the cameras.
- 3Use the sun times: sunrise and sunset at the park are computed on this page for today. The famous views are edge-of-day views; plan the open around them.
- 4Check the approach, not just the destination: entrance and corridor cameras in the wall show the road you will drive, an hour before you drive it.
