Hubbard
Glacier,
Alaska(2019)
We
sailed into the inlet in the morning |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Some passengers boarded an excursion
boat to sail very close to the glacier |
|
 |
 |
Our
ship sailed toward the glacier |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The glacier is 7 miles across.
We are still far away |
|
 |
|
The view of the glacier from our
balcony |
|
 |
|
Many
ice floes broken off from the glacier floated by |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
We continued to approach the glacier |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The
best view was here from the bow of the ship |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The ship remained close to the
glacier for hours |
|
 |
|
The
calving processes are captured in the photo sequences below |

The ship got as close as 1/2 mile
from the glacier |
|
 |
|
We returned to our balcony as the
ship sailed away from the glacier |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |

 |
|
Calving continued as we sailed
away |
