Coming Into Glacier Bay
Looking into the mountains and seeing the "frozen rivers" better known as glaciers.




First sight of the Hubbard Glacier...see the river of ice coming down the mountain.  Hubbard glacier is 76 miles long and 0ver 400 yeard old.

 Our Captain is noted for having the courage to take th ship in close for people to see this beautiful glacier.  Again, you can see the river of ice coming in another direction feeding into the Hubbard gladier. 


This is Russell Glacier which is to the left of Hubbard Glacier.  This is why this bay is called "Glacier Bay" because of so many glaciers coming down these mountains. 


AMAZING!!!


If you double click on this picture it will get bigger and you can see the small black dot in front of the glacier.  It is a commercial fishing boat...gives one the perspective of size...amazing!
