June 3: College Fjord Scenic Cruising

After a day of sailing across the Gulf of Alaska, we entered College Fjord around 6pm. The fjord contains five tidewater glaciers (glaciers that terminate in water), five large valley glaciers, and dozens of smaller glaciers, most named after renowned East Coast colleges.

Above from left to right you can see the faces of the Bryn Maer, Smith, Harvard, and Yale glaciers.
