Today is our most northerly point on this glorious cruise. What a gorgeous day in Hubbard Glacier! There was a lot of noise from the calving. Nothing huge dropped but at least we saw some action. Hubbard Glacier is a massive beauty located in Yakutat Bay and Disenchantment Bay. It’s 200 miles northwest of Alaskan capital Juneau and very close to the Yukon border. It’s the largest glacier in North America! It was named after Gardiner G Hubbard in 1890. He was the first president of the National Geographic Society and a regent of the Smithsonian Institute.
My first cruise to Alaska was about 30 years ago. I came up here with my mom and my sister. It was a wonderful trip with many memories. For anyone doubting Global Warming, I’m no scientist and I don’t know if it’s because of nature or man but I know it’s happening. I have the pictures to prove it. I cannot believe how the glacier has changed over the years. Both Hubbard and Glacier Bay.

| This boat is a shore excursion. It takes you right up to the glaciers! |

This is the picture where I notice global warming the most!
The white streak on the right side was huge 30 years ago and spanned from one mountain to the other.
Now it's almost gone! |

| Wow! |
