Where Glacier Bay, Alaska
When 1908
Photographer E. R. Martin

"Four decades after the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for about two cents an acre, men from the Alaskan Boundary Survey went to work in 1908 to define the territory's border with Canada. For two surveyors—far from civilization and its swimwear conventions—a rocky pool near Glacier Bay proved irresistible."

—From National Geographic Swimsuits, 2003
