Hubbard Glacier

Day 4 (Tuesday): Ice, Wonder, and a Day at Sea

It was the perfect blend of relaxation and awe as we sailed to the mighty Hubbard Glacier— the largest tidewater glacier in North America, 76 miles long and still growing! It calves icebergs the size of buildings and has even blocked off nearby fjords.

As we neared Hubbard Glacier around 2:30, the cruise director gave live narration while the captain slowly rotated the ship 360 degrees, giving everyone onboard a front-row view. This went on for a good 2-3 hours. We were surrounded by floating ice and dramatic blue glacier walls, and spotted a few playful sea otters drifting by. Words can’t quite capture the scale and beauty of it all—just one of those moments you tuck into memory forever!

Today, we’re boarding a small boat in the town of Icy Strait for a 3-hour whale watching adventure. I’ll post pics and videos tomorrow. 🐋 🚤Baca lagi
