The left face of the glacier appears through the morning fog.

Another cruise ship appears past the point. This is the Silver Shadow.

Harbor seals on the ice.

The Orca killer whales do not come to the glacier so these seals have no predators.

We could hear the ice cracking like gunshot 2-3 miles from its face.

Snow movement on the nearby mountain tops.

From whence we came.

The Silver Shadow gives a bit of perspective on how large the glacier is ~4 miles wide at the water.

Crystalline ice.

A closer look at the seals. Note the green glassy ice.

The blue color is caused by the dense ice absorbing the longer wavelengths of visible light.

Glassy green ice.

Silver Shadow.

Recent avalanche on a nearby mountain top.

Younger ice from a smaller glacier to the left of Hubbard.

Glacier watchers at the rail. Some places forward people stood 3 deep.

Looking further down the face of the glacier. This inlet is sometimes blocked when the glacier surges and fills the gap.

Wider view of the right face of the glacier.

A giant piece of ice about to become an iceberg.

Silver Shadow leaving Hubbard Glacier inlet.

Cracked ice spires at the top of the glacier.

The smooth area had been particularly active with avalanches occurring frequently.

The sky started clearing, there was no large ice in the water, we started going closer.

"Small" ice boulder hits the water.
