Our last destination on the cruise was College Fjord. We had a lot of water to cover–first in the Gulf of Alaska and later in Prince William Sound–and it took twenty-four hours to make this leg of the trip.

The fjord was discovered in 1899 and the glaciers were named for Elite East Coast Colleges, hence the name “College Fjord”. Professors from Harvard and Amherst were both a part of the expedition and apparently took great delight in excluding Princeton when they were doling out the glacier names.
