Hawaiian Canoe Makes History with Glacier Visit

하와이 카누, 빙하 방문으로 새로운 역사를 만들다 

 

The 1trek from the Yakutat boat harbor to Hubbard glacier takes about an hour by small boat. 2Captain Larry Bemis takes a couple Hokulea 3crew members to 4observe the conditions before the Hawaiian canoe and the rest of the crew arrives. 5Temperature is 50 degrees.... It’s an almost 6mystical 7scene 8towering mountains on each side with 9massive 10brilliant blue icebergs 11several 12stories high.

 

“We are right at the 13face of Hubbard glacier… We just passed a garland. We are 14approximately 2.2 miles.”

 

Over 75 miles long and 7 miles wide... Hubbard glacier is 15known as the largest glacier in North America that's created by 16tidewaters. Unlike other glaciers, it appears to 17defy the 18effects of 19climate change by actually growing in size. 

 

“I think it's awesome. You know, normally we only see these things in pictures right. So to come out here and experience it. I don't know. I don't have words for it. It's pretty amazing.”

 

The Hokulea is now more than 28-hundred miles north of Hawaii. To get close to Hubbard glacier... It's a more than 20-mile sail from Yakutat boat harbor through Disenchantment bay.

 

“So, the boat captain is trying to get us as close as possible to Hubbard glacier. It is almost 300 feet tall, and we're told it's bigger than Moanalua bay. Quite a 20magnificent sight. The deep blue ice shows just how 21dense and 22packed it is.”
