Ice calving. Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption and is normally caused by the glacier expanding. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse.
I would like to get your thoughts on visiting the glaciers in south east Alaska. Some of the itinerary takes to glacier bay park and others go to Hubbard glacier. Both seem to be very nice in picture. Please advise which would be more scenic and interesting. Also on fjords, some of the itineraries include tracy arm fjord while others doing a trip to Whittier do the college fjords.
