Hubbard Glacier

Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent. It stands 11,000 feet above sea level and stretches 76 miles from its source in the Yukon to the sea at Yakutat Bay and Disenchantment Bay. It is the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska with an open calving face of over 6 miles wide........






We spent 4 hours around this glacier getting within 1500 feet of it, which is the closest any cruise ship has gotten to it this season.
