Mt. St. Elias looms above the glacier. And the
clouds. It is the second highest mountain in
North America. Anyone who disagree is in
denali. Or denial. It's in both the US and Canada.
On the forward part of deck four.
At 12,000 feet, these mountains barely
earn mention.
Hubbard Glacier, from three miles out in
Disenchantment Bay. Nobody was unhappy.
The Glacier is 76 miles long, and seven
miles wide at this point. Largest
Piedmont Glacier in North America.
A view up the glacier.
The furthest out the glacier reached.
At this point, we were in a half mile of the glacier.
In the bottom center, you can see
part of the glacier calving and shooting
water up in the air as the ice hits the fan.
Well, this shows the problem of picking photos
from thumbnails on a small screen. Eyes closed!
More calving.
Still the best view of the glacier,
even in the shadows of the afternoon.
