I did; College Fjord, too, where they are still using cairns erected by the Harriman expedition in the 1890's to measure glacial melt.

The following from Glacier Bays web site doesn't seem to support your statement of retreat from 1650 ot 1700.

"Enter Glacier Bay and you cruise along shorelines completely covered by ice just 200 years ago. Explorer Captain George Vancouver found Icy Strait choked with ice in 1794, and Glacier Bay was a barely indented glacier."

I don't believe this area of Alaska had even been explored in 1650 to document anything about Glacier Bay.
