College Fjord, Alaska, USA. The terminus of College Fjord is ringed with glaciers, each named for eastern US colleges by the explorers. (Many of the names were Ivy League colleges, though the explorers gleefully left Princeton out of the naming.) On the left are Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Radcliffe, and Harvard Glaciers, up the 'small' channel on the right is the Yale Glacier, not visible in this photo. The ice fields that feed the glaciers are massive, situated among mountains as tall as 15,000 feet. The masses of ice produce an abundance of clouds and breezes flow off the mountains to the fjord. The Harvard Glacier is 1.5 miles wide, 18 miles long, and over 200 feet high at the face. (EXIF: 70mm, 1/1250 sec, f/8.0, ISO 200) Enjoy!
