Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Alaska's Glacier Bay is steeped in rich cultural history, primarily shaped by the Huna Tlingit people who have inhabited the region for centuries. The area, known for its dramatic glacial landscapes, was traditionally used by the Tlingit for hunting and fishing, deeply intertwined with their spiritual beliefs and practices. The bay's retreat in the late 18th century due to glacial movement forced the Tlingit to relocate, adding a poignant chapter to their history. Today, Glacier Bay is not only a hub for scientific study due to its rapidly changing environment but also a place where Tlingit heritage is honored and preserved through cultural programs and art.

College Fjord was discovered in 1899 during the Harriman Expedition. Edward Henry Herriman, a millionaire railroad tycoon, set sail with 125 other passengers and crew, including 23 of esteemed scientists from several Ivy League schools, to explore the fjords of Alaskan. The scientists named the glaciers in this fjord after their Ivy League alma maters and their sister schools. Those names include Amherst, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Harvard, Smith, Vassar, and Yale. The glaciers of the northwest side feature names of women's colleges and those of the southeast side are names of men's colleges.
