Day 2 - Hubbard Glacier
The weather for this trip to the Hubbard Glacier was even better than it had been the week before. By the time the Captain announced our arrival, we were in tee-shirts and sunglasses on the aft balcony. Despite the warm weather, we went ahead with our plan to serve hot chocolate with Bailey's and cookies from Room Service to our guests. Along with Bob and Vita, we chatted and snapped photographs from our vantage point on the aft of the ship.
The ship had just completed a 180 - degree turn showing us the full face of the Glacier when a massive chunk of the face of the icebank went crashing into the ocean with a monstrous roar, causing a wave to race toward the ship and making us hang onto the rail when it reached us. Not long after that, a huge piece broke free from the right edge of the Glacier and also went sliding into the sea, announcing its presence to all onboard. We sailed away feeling blessed to have been given this awesome show.
