“Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.” – Theodore Roosevelt
I get excited when I visit new places. Seeing something I have never seen before is exhilarating. When I saw the Hubbard Glacier last summer, that brought a new level of excitement. When we pulled up to it, it didn’t seem all that big, but when I saw the other cruise ship in the distance closer to it, I realized just how huge it was. We were already treated to seeing snow-capped mountains on the way there. That was the amazing part about cruising in Alaska. The views on the way to our ports never disappointed. I had my camera in my hands most of the day while we were coasting by the Hubbard Glacier. My dad let me borrow his 500 mm lens, and that’s how I was able to capture these amazing images.
Here is some information about the Hubbard Glacier. Hubbard Glacier is North America’s largest tidewater glacier, measuring 76 miles long and known for its “galloping” advance, which is unlike most receding glaciers. It is named after Gardiner Hubbard, the first president of the National Geographic Society, and can be distinguished by its towering face that is 600 feet tall at the terminal face, with 250 feet below the waterline.
