Photo By Randy Traynor It’s not every day you get to camp on a beach in the shadow of a 200-foot high, 2-mile-long glacier. In 2018, I called this area at Nellie Juan Glacier “home” for a week as I spent time exploring the glacier and wilderness of Prince William Sound with National Forest Service rangers as an artist-in-residence for their “Voices of the Wilderness” program.
