In his book "Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die", Steve Davey includes Alaska's College Fjord .
I agree with this inclusion, enthusiastically! Not to have seen College Fjord is not to have lived.

College Fjord's natural splendour overwhelms all who see it. It softens the hardened traveller and seduces the novice. It stunned me, and I was intoxicated with its vision for hours after our ship sailed out of the waters.

College fjord

As our ship, the Dawn Princess, sailed very slowly into the fjord, I saw glaciers to the left, to the front, and to the right. I was surrounded by glaciers! We were fortunate to have on board naturalist Sandra Schempp whose enthusiasm and information added to our enjoyment of the cruise. She gave presentations and running commentaries about wildlife and glaciers.
