College Fjord Alaska At this point the drizzle caught up with us... and it was whole lot more comfortable to view the Glaciers from inside the ship. |

Note the area of aqua blue - pure ice reflecting the crystal structure. The vertical band of rocks and gravel is the result of two glacial flows joining up higher in the valley - each with its own load of glacial till which marks where the two flows have come together. |

As the ship draws closer to the glacier you become
aware that the glacier is hundreds of feet high and towers over the
ship.
