Storia

La baia prende il nome dal suo ghiacciaio più importante: il ghiacciaio Surprise; è stato chiamato così perché fu il primo ghiacciaio ad essere visto dai membri della spedizione scientifica "Harriman Alaska Expedition" (1899) quando entrarono del fiordo di Harriman.[4] Il nome realmente fu riportato solamente nel 1960 dal U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).[12]

Accessi e turismo

La baia è raggiungibile solamente via mare da Whittier (circa 60 km circa via mare e 26 km via aerea) a da Valdez (oltre 150 km circa via mare)[13]. Durante la stagione turistica sono programmate diverse escursioni via mare da Whittier per visitare soprattutto il ghiacciaio Surprise e quelli vicini.[14]
