Hubbard Glacier -- Why You See It Now!

Alaska, Alaskan fjords, Alaskan Vacation, cruise, USA, vacation

The Hubbard Glacier is the largest calving glacier on the North American continent.

Ice Calving - (of a glacier, an iceberg, etc.) to break off or detach (a piece): The glacier calved an iceberg.

Calving Glaciers are Unresponsive to Climate. Hubbard Glacier is the largest of eight calving glaciers in Alaska that are currently increasing in total mass and advancing. The glaciers that are currently growing and advancing in the face of global warming were retreating throughout the Little Ice Age when most glaciers were growing.

Calving of glaciers is often preceded by a loud cracking or booming sound. This sound can be heard very well in the peace of the Yukutat Bay and you will often hear large splashes. Hubbard Glacier routinely calves off icebergs as high as 10-story buildings.

It takes about 400 years for ice to traverse the length of the glacier, meaning that the ice at the foot of the glacier is about 400 years old.

Before it reaches the sea, Hubbard is joined by the Valerie Glacier to the west.

Pretty cool for the longest river of ice in North America!

Experience Icebergs as You Never Have Before!

2012, Alaska, Alaskan Vacation, Land Tour, USA, vacation

Go on an Icebergs Adventure at Spencer Lake:

No roads lead to iceberg-choked Spencer Lake, but the Alaska Railroad does. After a scenic trip by rail and lunch, float through Spencer Lake and down the Placer River.

Start your adventure by viewing Spencer Glacier, the huge glacier on the lake. You will get as close as possible while still remaing a safe distance away.

Are you ready to experience icebergs as you never have before? This is a fabulous alternative to whitewater rafting and is perfect for both younger and older party members.

See the Northern Lights in Alaska

2012, Alaska, USA, vacation
Are you a wintertime traveler? Do you want to see the Northern Lights dance across the sky? Alaska may be the perfect destination for you. Scientists are predicting increased sunspot activity through 2013, which means the aurora borealis could be more active and colorful than usual. Peak travel times to see the Northern Lights are from late August to late April. A quiet night, a skyline filled with shifting colors, and a camera on night vision mode. Could you ask for a better memory? Well you can do more than just watch and photograph the aurora borealis, you can experience it and have an adventure too. Go dogsledding, snowshoe hiking, dip into natural hot springs, and more. Request from your hotel an "aurora wake-up call" and you won't sleep through the Northern Light show, as your hotel will call you and tell you when they're visible at night.

We went looking for photographs that showed how beautiful the Grand Canyon is no matter what time of day or on what rim you are on. We found a lot of gorgeous pictures, but these we feel are the best. Don't you agree?
