The Oosterdam did not port this day. Instead we cruised the shore of Hubbard Glacier. And let me assure you that after seeing the glacier from this perspective, it made the previous day's adventure to Mendenhall Glacier even more significant! To see the side of a glacier as it reaches the ocean is stunning. We were also able to see several incidents of calving, where a part of the glacier breaks free and falls into the ocean. Just before it happens, the sound resembles thunder. It was so impressive to see!
