April 17, 2021

College Fjord is a fjord located in the northern sector of Prince William Sound in the U.S. state of Alaska. 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 (women’s colleges for the NW side, and men’s colleges for the SE side). College Fjord was discovered in 1899 during the Harriman Expedition, at which time the glaciers were named.
