In July 2008, Matt and I took an Alaskan cruise with some family and friends. It was truly some of the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen. One of our days "at sea", our ship glided in very slowly near the Hubbard Glacier and we just rotated around, so as to get a great view from anywhere on the boat. While taking in this amazing sight, I was able to capture the glacier actually "calving". Calving is when the glacier loses large chunks of its mass just falling off into the water. Since I just clicked away, it is almost like a slow motion video of what happened. It was so awe-inspiring that I couldn't believe that I had actually witnessed it and even better...got it on my camera!
SIMPLY BREATHTAKING!
