This was the absolute highlight of our Alaskan cruise last September! Stunning blue sky day and the colour of the glacier, hearing and seeing the ice crack and crumble fall into the water was incredible, something I’ll never forget! Perhaps they all say this but our cruise ship captain said we were the closest he’s ever been able to get to the glacier due to good weather and visibility (keep in mind this was a massive princess cruises ship). The education we received about glaciers and this particular one was second to none! This is something I could visit over and over again and never get sick of, absolutely incredible! I would love to go out on a smaller vessel next time to get an even closer experience.…

We took a small boat to get close to the Hubbard Glacier. In this picture you can see two moose who swam out to this small outcropping. Note the spray behind them which was caused by “calving” or the breaking off of ice chunks from the face wall. Even still, Hubbard is still an advancing glacier.…

On such a beautiful clear day what a marvel and so lucky to have the opportunity to see in the middle of summer, especially after so many hot days. Due to the heatwave and numerous bushfires at this time was a little discoloured on top of the Glacier but this also allowed for ice calving (due to the high daytime temperatures) of the glacier due to the heat which was sensational for both photography and to see up so close. Fortunately, the Hubbard Glacier is growing in size which is so great environmentally.…

The clacer is amazing, the colors in the pictures while they look amazing really do not do any justice to the true amazing colors in person. The sounds of the ice cracking echoing through over the sea water to us a mile away is a sound that will send chills down your spine. A sound again you must hear in person, something that cannot be duplicated on a sound system!…
