| Hubbard glacier. |
Saturday June 9. Today we are cruising to our final destination outside of Anchorage, but we make an important stop at the Hubbard glacier. It is 75 miles long and 1,350 square miles in area and is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. It has a vertical wall at the ocean 300 ft tall. It has been advancing for the last 100 years and has had some dramatic events of ice breaking off.

We get there in the morning and the weather cooperates for a very scenic experience. We hear the sound as ice breaks off, it sounds like a rifle shot. There have been chunks of ice break off the size of a 20 story building.
