We got to the glacier around 2:00. As he did at Sawyer Glacier the captain first turned the port side of the ship to the glacier and after 20 minutes or so turned it so the starboard side faced the glacier. Our cabin is on the starboard side so we get the second turn. While we were turned away I took the camera up to the lido deck where there is open deck at the stern of the ship. I was glad that I did. As it happened, when he turned our side to the glacier the clouds dropped nearly tp the surface to where it became problematic to see the glacier at all. We didn’t even bother to sit out on our veranda to watch. As an aside, the Hubbard glacier is something of an anomaly . In warmer climate it advances rather than retreats. The warmer weather brings heavier snows to the snowfields that feed it.
