Hubbard Glacier - Published Spring 2018
The Hubbard Glacier is about 76 miles long and plunges 1200 feet into the depths of the bay. It takes 400 years for the ice to travel from the beginning of the glacier until it reaches the bay where it calves off 10 story building size icebergs into the water.
A glacier appears blue because the weight deforms the layers of overlying snow and ice. The red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered.
