Eastern Colleges Score Big on Alaskas Glacier Report Card

During the spring and summer of 1899, a railroad magnate named Edward Henry Harriman organized an expedition to explore the plant and animal life of Alaska.

Among its many accomplishments, The Harriman Alaska Expedition discovered a vast fjord in the northern section of Prince William Sound. There are many glaciers
in the fjord, all lined up one after another in what resembles a never-ending spectacle of enormous ice ribbons.
