Bryn Mawr Glacier

Day 21: College Fjord
There are glaciers all the way along the fjord and it is possible from one vantage point in the glacier to see 8 different glaciers - not on this day though.. This is the Bryn Mawr Glacier.
I would love to take such a trip.

@stray_shooter You led with your chin on that one Ron. :-)
The following is from Wikipedia "College Fjord was discovered in 1899 during the Harriman Expedition, at which time the glaciers were named. The expedition included a Harvard and an Amherst professor, and they named many of the glaciers after elite colleges. According to Bruce Molina, author of Alaska's Glaciers, "They took great delight in ignoring Princeton."

The weather really adds to the atomosphere of the shot.
