Hubbard Glacier, Wrangell-St Elias National Park, Alaska – Image 2522

The Hubbard Glacier just north of Yakutat starts in Canada and winds its way down to Disenchantment Bay just outside Yakutat, Alaska. This glacier travels over 90 miles from its source in the Yukon Territory and qualifies as the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska. It massive ice face stretches for over six miles. It is one of the few glaciers in Alaska that is still advancing. This image illustrates page 104 in my new book on Alaska called Alaska: A Photographic Excursion and is also the photo for the month of June in my 2008 Southeast Alaska Calendar.
