Where Mountains, Ice, and Ocean Meet

At the edge of the Kenai Peninsula lies a land where the ice age lingers. Nearly 40 glaciers flow from the Harding Icefield, Kenai Fjords' crowning feature. Wildlife thrives in icy waters and lush forests around the vast expanse of ice. Sugpiaq people have relied on coastal lands to nurture a life entwined with the sea. Today, shrinking glaciers bear witness to the effects of our changing climate.
