Description
Off the coast of Yakutat, 200 miles NW of Juneau, Alaska, Hubbard Glacier is certainly gigantic: it's more than six miles wide and up to 400 feet tall where it meets the ocean. For now, the glacier isn't surging, but you could say that it's a pretty light sleeper as it often calves.
I am especially fond of the color of ancient ice. Pressure has driven out the air and left clear ice to absorb all but the purest blue. Delicious!
