"Voices of Glacier Bay" Project
"As the sounds of a ferocious spring storm roars past all our windows, the sounds of Glacier Bay are beginning to reach into the ears of folks around the country." ACRC is collaborating with Hank Lentfer on a research project this summer in Glacier Bay National Park, outside Gustavus, Alaska. Lentfer and Richard Nelson are going to spend the next two years recording all the majestic, unique sounds that are heard in Glacier Bay. For more information regarding this project and to catch sound-bites of the project, please visit Lentfer's blog at http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/newsfrom187/entry/7526/
