  • Compilation of video clips from our visit to see the Hubbard Glacier on the 4 August 2016 aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Radiance of the Seas.
    Location of the Hubbard Glacier terminal face: goo.gl/maps/v7...
    The Hubbard Glacier is North America's largest tidewater glacier. Here are some facts about it copied from the National Park Service website www.nps.gov/wr....
    It is 76 miles long, 7 miles wide, and is over 2000 feet thick at some locations.
    The ice you see at the terminal face is approximately 450 years old and is 600 feet (183 metres) tall (350 feet (107 metres) exposed above the waterline and 250 feet (76 metres) below the waterline).
    The Hubbard Glacier starts at Mt. Logan (19,850 ft) in the Yukon Territory of Canada and ends within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve.
    The glacier was named in 1890 for Gardiner Hubbard, the first president of the National Geographic Society.
    The Hubbard Glacier is currently advancing (last 100 years), while most Alaskan glaciers are retreating (95% ). The current rate of advance is approximately 80 feet (24 metres) per year. The glacier's rate of overall forward velocity is much higher, but the advance is due to its calving.

    What camera did you use to capture the video of the glacier?

      Vanessa Nichols - I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100/TZ100 for this video.
