Yesterday’s outing involved using the ship to enter Disenchantment Bay to get a close view of the Hubbard Glacier. No town today.
The bay received its name when it was accepted that the bay did not provide access to a Northwest Passage. We see so many glaciers, but Hubbard has that beautiful blue colored ice that results from the great density of the ice and how it allows or doesn’t (maybe that is it) the flow of light. I did see the glacier calf, but such events are difficult to record with a camera.
The following image is a panorama and if you select to enlarge it you will have a good look a the full breadth of this glacier.
There plenty of windows and nice viewing areas inside, but my camera works much better when I go outside and don’t try to shoot through the glass. The temps here are in the 40-50s and it seems to rain a good portion of the time.
