Approaching the Glacier

It was a WOW moment when I walked up onto deck and saw in the distance what looked like a grey line along the horizon. In fantastic sunshine, which is very rare for this part of the trip, we slowly approached the Hubbard Glacier, the only advancing glacier in the Northern hemisphere. With a hot chocolate in one hand,(another tacky souvenir mug!) and the binoculars in the other, Mark and I spent the next 4 hours up on deck taking in the awe and wonder of the scene. First signs of the glacier close up were these floating blocks of ice that had calved off and were making their way back to the sea.
