July 25 Hubbard Glacier

 It was a grey, cloudy, drizzly kind of day.  The glacier creates her own weather (the onboard naturalist, speaking over the PA system, always referred to Hubbard as "she". Gardiner Hubbard, the glacier's namesake, was definitely a "he".  I guess it's the glacier that's a she.)

This is one of the side valleys that used to be a glacier and now is a river leading to the ocean as we sail in towards the face of the glacier.

A "growler" -- smaller than an iceberg, but wouldn't want to hit one with your ship.  Gender unknown.  Notice the dark blue coloring of a glacier.
Hubbard glacier herself. 
Just a pretty picture.
