Day 4, Hubbard Glacier Field. This was one of the days where we never got off the boat, but had a lesson about glaciers while we were on the boat. As we neared the glacier field, big chunks of ice started floating by the boat til it got to the point where it was just a constant flow of ice, some huge and some not so much. We even got to see some seals while we were there. We weren't able to get as close to the glacier as normal due to the size of the ice field. There was a smaller boat there intact with helicopter, boats, kayaks, etc. to see if there was a clear path closer to the glacier. Well, today was not our lucky day, but it was overcast and made the colors on the ice so much more vivid. What a fun thing to go see! Notice the color of the water just outside the ice field - it looked more like the Carribean instead of Alaska. The landscape changed so quickly from green water and lush mountains to the deep ice field.
