As your cruise ship nears the land, the impressive sights you see before you arrive in College Fjords are only a prelude of what is to come. Your first view will be of the majestic mountains that reach skyward from this beautiful land. Then you will experience a panoramic view from this until your journey ends at College Fjord. Large Glacier...
College Fjord has one of the largest tidewater glaciers in North America. It measures six miles wide and two hundred and sixty feet high and is completely surrounded by wildlife both on land and sea. Harvard Glacier sits right in the middle of all the glaciers and the sight is awesome as you look into the highest peak of the mountains gently covered in fluffy clouds.
There, the glacier sits at the bottom and appears to grow out from the base of the mountains as though on an artist’s canvas. See the flow that took place over the years to make this sight what it is today as its ice white glaze reaches the sea below.
Holyoke Glacier...
At Holyoke Glacier, you will see a completely different glacier that only time, movement and nature can create. This glacier runs tightly between two mountains. Its peaks appear to touch fluffy white clouds that seem to sit on the highest peak of the mountains just for your view.
The many different colors of blues and whites will dazzle your eyes. These glaciers are only a small example of the sights to behold in this awesome creation of nature itself.
This pristine land that has withstood the test of time lies here waiting for you, to dazzle and astound you. It will provide you with a sight of nature that you have never experienced before and the best way to see it is from the side of your cruise ship.
