Geography

The Hubbard Glacier has its terminus in the northern shore of the mid Inglefield Fjord. It discharges from the margins of the Greenland Ice Sheet in Prudhoe Land, flowing roughly from north to south. [2]

In the same manner as most neighboring glaciers, it has retreated by approximately 0.75 km (0.47 mi) in recent years. [1]
