Calving 2026

A glacier calves before you hear it. At Hubbard Glacier I learned to watch the face, not listen for it. Look for movement. The sound comes a few seconds later, a deep cracking rumble that rolls across Disenchantment Bay like thunder. In this frame the ice has already let go. It's dropping into the bay and throwing up spray at the waterline, and there's still no sound. Then the rumble.
