Description
Wow! These glaciers are truly remarkable as you ride by on the tour boat. The weather was cool and damp, but the scenery, well, you be the judge
According to Wikipedia, the park was established in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The park covers an area of 669,984 acres on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska, near the town of Seward. The park contains the Harding Icefield, one of the largest ice fields in the United States. The park is named for the numerous fjords carved by glaciers moving down the mountains from the ice field. The field is the source of at least 38 glaciers, the largest of which is Bear Glacier. The fjords are glacial valleys that have been submerged below sea level by a combination of rising sea levels and land subsidence. The park lies just to the west of Seward. The park is mostly only accessible by boat, airplane, and hiking.
