Yakutat Bay is an 18 mile wide bay that extends southwest from Disenchantment Bay to the Gulf of Alaska. Disenchantment Bay contains three glaciers, Turner, Haenke and Hubbard Glacier. Hubbard Glacier stretches 76 miles to the sea north of Yakutat in Disenchantment Bay. It is the longest tidewater glacier in America, with an open calving face over six miles wide and 600 feet tall at its terminal face (350 feet exposed above the waterline and 250 feet below the waterline)..

Why are there glaciers? Glaciers form where more snow falls
than melts over a period of years, compacts into ice, and
becomes thick enough to begin to move. That is, a snow patch
becomes a glacier when the deepest layers begin to deform due
to the weight of the overlying snow and ice.
Why are glaciers blue? Because the red (long wavelengths) part
of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths)
light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels
in ice, the more blue it appears. So... why is snow white? Light
does not penetrate into snow very far before being scattered
back to the viewer.
