We set sail last night at 9:00 pm and we are on our way to College Fjord and then on to Sitka, Alaska. I awoke this morning at 6:00 am as we were entering College Fjord. College Fjord contains an assortment of massive glaciers. The cruise ship couldn't get to close to the glaciers because there was still alot of pack ice still in the water and it would have put the cruise ship in danger if we would have gotten closer. However, we still were able to see the massive glaciers. The temperture outside was a brisk 42 degrees [View Full Entry]
