The boat sailed into the bay and was close to Prince William Sound, the last glacier attraction of the cruise ship. God took care of us, the clouds cleared and the glaciers were clear and up close. This is the largest tidal glacier in North America (tidewater glacier ), which has been moving forward for the past 100 years. But as the global climate warms, 95% of Alaska’s glaciers are retreating. Hundreds of years ago, the bay was covered with ice and snow, but now there are few glaciers left, and cruise ships must enter the bay to navigate to the only remaining glaciers to make tourists happy.

    学院冰河是位于美国阿拉斯加州威廉王子湾北部的峡湾。 峡湾包含五个潮水冰川、五个大型山谷冰川和数十个较小的冰川,其中大部分是以美国著名的东海岸学院命名。 学院峡湾于 1899 年在哈里曼探险期间被发现, 探险队包括一位哈佛教授和一位阿默斯特教授,他们以精英大学的名字命名了许多冰川。

    The strict translation of the college ice is "College fjord". Fjord is a geological term, referring to a special natural phenomenon, a narrow waterway etched by glacier activity in the valley, with steep slopes on both sides. A massive expedition to Alaska in 1899, organized by the Railroad King, discovered this wonder of 26 freshwater glaciers. It is a fjord containing five tidal glaciers, five large valley glaciers and a dozen small glaciers. Most of these glaciers are named after famous universities and colleges on the east coast: glaciers on the west side of the fjord are named after famous nineteenth-century women's colleges such as Wellesley, Smith, etc. On the east side are named after famous ivy schools such as Harvard, Yale and so on. The largest glacier in the middle is called Harvard Glacier, a mile and a half wide and a center height of 350 feet. The Harvard Glacier is not very cute and dirty because of the rock residue on the surface of the glacier. But the center is still very blue color.

    Each time the ice bodies surge forward, they will rush to the ground and trek once to build these ripples, called hail.
