The ports of call on the Radiance of the Seas: Day One - Hubbard Glacier.
This day was spent at sea with a visit to the Hubbard Glacier. From its source in the Yukon, the glacier stretches 122 km (76 mi) to the sea at Yakutat Bay and Disenchantment Bay. It is the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska, with an open calving face over ten kilometers (6 mi) wide.
When the glacier calves, a sound very similar to thunder can be heard.
