Hmm, a lot more ice in the water! (Disenchantment Bay)

Turner Glacier

W end of Hubbard Glacier

The E end of Hubbard Glacier extends behind Gilbert Point (KSS)

Sort of a close-up of Hubbard Glacier;
the ice at the face is about 450 years old

Hubbard Glacier, of which we see about three of its six-mile width;
it is 350 feet high above the waterline and 250 feet below;
Hubbard Glacier is North America's largest tidewater glacier

Leaving Hubbard Glacier, a glacier that is advancing because
of warmer temperatures; it reacts opposite to most glaciers

Trying a selfie at Hubbard Glacier, but where is the glacier?

There it is! with Erich, Tamiko, Dylan, Pete, Kent
