Hubbard Glacier, Alaska

Hubbard Glacier is a tidewater glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada. From its source in the Yukon, the glacier stretches 122 km (76 mi) to the sea at Yakutat Bay and Disenchantment Bay. It is the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska, with an open calving face over ten kilometers (6 miles) wide.

The longest tidewater glacier in Alaska, with an open calving face over six miles wide, the Hubbard Glacier is also one of the most active glaciers of its kind in Alaska. These glaciers calve when giant pieces of ice crack off the head of the glacier and fall into the sea. While the faces of most glaciers advance very slowly if at all, Hubbard is an exception, its face is continually moving farther out into the sea.

Cruises are designed to provide passengers with the best viewing possible anywhere and you'll be able to see this massive natural wonder of blue ice from just about anywhere onboard.
