Day 2
College Fjord, United States
Prepare to experience nature's raw power. Today we visit College Fjord, which features five tidewater glaciers and five valley glaciers, as well as a dozen other types. The 1899 Harriman expedition team charted the fjord and named the glaciers after their alma maters, including Vassar, Harvard, and Yale. Princeton is deliberately missing, apparently done as a snub. We'll get as close to the glaciers as we can, taking the small boats (RIBs) into the fjord if possible, or even exploring by kayak. From the water, you might catch sight of humpback whales, bald eagles, otters, and sea lions, all of which inhabit this icy wilderness. ... Read More
