Day at sea…

We had a quiet, low key day today, while at sea. The waves were a bit rough but settled as the day progressed. We took the opportunity to just chill after the last 5 days of constant travel. That being said, this post will be very short!
We did stop at the Hubbard Glacier for a viewing. It was, unfortunately, a very rainy day but the rain did stop a bit and I was able to get a few pics of the glacier and landscape around it. The Hubbard Glacier is one of the only glaciers to still be advancing. It takes 400 years for the ice formed at the start of the glacier to make it to the tidewater in Disenchantment Bay. The glacier routinely calves off icebergs the size of a ten-story building. Where the glacier meets the bay, most of the ice is below the waterline, and newly calved icebergs can shoot up quite dramatically, so that ships must keep their distance from the edge of the glacier in Disenchantment Bay.

Tomorrow we will be in Juneau and have a cool excursion planned…
