Alice Arm, Fjord in British Columbia, Canada.
Alice Arm is a deep fjord in British Columbia that stretches as a narrow marine inlet between steep mountain ranges, extending eastward from Observatory Inlet toward the Alaska border. The waters are hemmed in by forested mountain slopes, creating a remote and isolated landscape.
A British naval captain named this inlet in 1868 after Alice Mary Tomlinson, daughter of a colonial official in British Columbia. The name connects to this person from the region's early exploration period.
The Nisga'a people originally called this inlet K'alii Ts'im Gits'oohl, meaning 'far back inside' in their language. The name reflects how they understood this remote and sheltered body of water.
This fjord is only accessible by water since there are no roads and it sits far from settlements in the North Coast region. A few seasonal accommodations serve visitors interested in exploring this remote coastal area.
The Kitsault River flows into the fjord and creates a mixing zone where fresh water meets salt water, affecting the local wildlife. This transition area draws certain fish species and makes the region noteworthy for those watching wildlife.
