Hubbaard Glacier




This glacier is too difficult to appreciate just in photos, as I too have seen pictures before. The glacier is 300 ft above water and 300 below. The face is 6 miles wide! When a piece cracks and falls in tot he water it sounds like thunder! The little dots that you see give you some sense of perspective as they are 300 lb sea lions!

Truly the crown jewel of the cruise, it was breathtaking!

My favorite thing was realizing just how small and insignificant we are in the grand scope of life on earth as we know it. Very humbling! Sounds like a fatalist but was somehow refreshing.
