Hubbard Glacier

Today we went to see the world’s only expanding glacier, and to say it is majestic is an understatement. 

It takes about 400 years for ice to traverse the length of the glacier, meaning that the ice at the foot of the glacier is about 400 years old. The glacier routinely calves off icebergs the size of a ten-story building. Where the glacier meets the bay, most of the ice is below the waterline, and newly calved icebergs can shoot up quite dramatically, so that ships must keep their distance from the edge of the glacier in Disenchantment Bay.

We also saw some sea lions, which was nice. 

A day to remember for sure.
