Kenai Fjords tour combines breathtaking glacier and wildlife viewing with deep-rooted Indigenous, geologic, and industrial history. Today, cruising these icy waters out of Seward remains the premier way to experience the area, with 6- to 8-hour tours
Bear Glacier is the largest outlet glacier of Alaska's Harding Icefield, located in Kenai National Park Named in 1909, it has retreated over 4 miles since its Little Ice Age in1888
Steller sea lions, the largest of the eared seals, are a massive presence in Alaska's marine ecosystems. Adult males can reach up to 11 feet in length and weigh up to 2,500 pounds. In Alaska, they rely on nearly 500 remote, rocky "haul-outs" and "rookeries" along the coast to rest and breed
Aialik Glacier is a massive tidewater glacier in Alaska that drains the Harding Icefield. While actively calving, it has remained relatively stable over the past century, retreating less than 1,000 feet since first documented in 1909
Glacier calving is the mechanical breaking away or detachment of large chunks of ice from the edge of a glacier. This dramatic process typically happens when a glacier flows into a body of water (like an ocean or lake) and forms massive ice cliffs, with the resulting fragments forming icebergs
Dall's Porpoise Often mistaken for orcas due to their striking black-and-white markings, these are the fastest small cetaceans in the world. They are highly active and notorious for riding the bow waves of boats
