Nature
Hubbard Glacier, also known as Hubbard Gletscher, is an outlet of the Greenland Ice Sheet in Prudhoe Land in northwestern Greenland. Flowing roughly north to south, it reaches the northern shore of the middle part of Inglefield Fjord. Robert Peary named the glacier for Gardiner Greene Hubbard, founder and first president of the American Geographical Society, who lived from 1822 to 1897. Like many glaciers along this edge of the ice sheet, Hubbard Glacier has retreated in recent years by about 0.75 kilometers.
