Nearly 40 glaciers flow from the Harding Icefield in Kenai Fjords National Park, their summer waters eventually running into the Gulf of Alaska. Tens of thousands of years of glacial carving and strong waves have scoured much of the existing shoreline in the fjords, creating a dramatic meeting of land and ocean. Visitors with a sense of adventure can brave the waves and experience the awe-inspiring power of a tidewater glacier, while dipping a hand into these frigid blue waters.
