Hubbard Glacier — Local services in Alaska

Part of my review (minus its photos) from Yakutat Bay: We went here in the Spring of 2008, (on the first ship of the season). It was also the latest thaw in Alaska in over 25 years. We entered the misty bay, which was completely covered in ice. The ship had to slowly cut its way through this to approach the 7 mile wide 300 foot high glacier.

A visit to Hubbard Glacier is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, providing an unforgettable connection with the raw beauty of our planet's...
