Introduction
Kenai Fjords National Park is famed for ice-carved fjords, tidewater glaciers and rich marine life. The Harding Icefield feeds it; Exit Glacier can be walked close to the tongue. Boat cruises reveal humpbacks, orcas, sea otters, seals and cliff-nesting puffins—glaciers, fjords and wild coast in one, Alaska's most accessible wilderness window.
