College Fjord: Women on the Left and Men on the Right PDF Print E-mail

College Fjord was named after several Ivy League colleges that funded their discover expedition in 1899. All six of the glaciers in college Fjord were named after the respective colleges, those glaciers on the left for the women’s colleges and those on the right for the men’s. As you enter the fjord, you will be almost completely surrounded with glaciers, both a very daunting and beautiful landscape.

Although just as beautiful, College Fjord is not quite as big as Glacier Bay.  Cruising past these East Coast college namesakes as you eat lunch on the ship deck is a marvelous experience.  Your cruise ship will get quite close to these and they are very picturesque.  You’ll have millions of great pictures and none to throw away.
