The Hubbard Glacier is one of Alaska’s best known glaciers—probably owing to the dramatic photos that capture its 10-km-wide and 150-m-high expanse. It is also a popular site for cruises. The journey of the ice in the Hubbard Glacier from Mount Logan to Disenchantment Bay takes almost 400 years to reach the ocean, though at points of most flux, it can move at speeds of up to a couple of feet a day. Hubbard is one of the world’s few advancing glaciers and in its push towards the Gulf of Alaska, it has cleaved the flow of several rivers to the sea and damned the Russel Fjord before suffering huge cave-ins.
