Day 2

hubbard glacier (cruising)

Arrival: 14:00 - Departure: 17:00

The Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in the Saint Elias Mountains in Alaska (United States) and in the Yukon Territory (Canada). From its origin in the Yukon Territory the glacier stretches 122 km to Disenchantment Bay and Yakutat Bay. That makes it the longest glacier in Alaska ending in the water, while its facade measures more than ten km. Before reaching the water, it is joined by the Valerie Glacier, which contributes, according to experts, an additional push that in the long term will lead to the definitive separation of Russell Fjord from Disenchantment Bay. In May 1986, and in the spring of 2002, this separation took place, however only for a couple of months, giving rise to Lake Russell. After in 1986 the flow of the fjord after the summer reached a level of 25 m above sea level, approx. At midnight on October 8, 1986, the water pressure managed to pierce the ice wall and the fjord was again united with the ocean.1 It was the second largest Jökulhlaup in recorded history.
