COLLEGE FJORD

collegefjord1.jpg (24801 bytes) We arrived at College Fjord Friday afternoon.  College Fjord got it's name because all of the glaciers are named after different colleges.  Most have Ivy League names.  Since there was no Penn State glacier, I was not very impressed.

College Fjord was the last scheduled stop on our tour.  Our trip was almost finished.  We had just one more night.
