Hubbard Glacier is the one glacier in the world that
does not move at a glacial pace. Quite the opposite. In
fact, in 1986, Hubbard Glacier - the largest tidewater
glacier on the North American continent - moved an
average of just under 5.5 feet per hour. Keep a watchful
eye as you sail through the Yakutat Bay, as you may be a
witness to geological history.
