Where in the World Are We?

We are in Seward, Alaska.

SEWARD, ALASKA
SHAPED BY GLACIERS, NESTLED BETWEEN MOUNTAINS AND THE OCEAN
Monumental scenery surrounds you in this remote corner of the world, where glaciers calve, and whales cruise through
inky waters before an immense mountain backdrop. Almost totally submerged by the colossal landscapes around it,
Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park’s wonders offer some of astonishing Alaska’s most thrilling scenery.

Seward is a place to immerse yourself in nature’s majesty in a deep gash in the Kenai Peninsula. Fjords carve
into the landscape, while the Harding Icefield – which caps Kenai Fjords National Park – reaches out its icy fingers, with
glaciers spilling down between mountain peaks.

Head to Holgate Glacier, face to face with a breathtaking stack of intense blue and white ice. Get up close in
a kayak or boat ride, to slalom through the discarded confetti of ice chunks, and perhaps even witness the powerful
spectacle of an ice ledge creaking and groaning before plunging to the waters below.

The city of Anchorage is easily within reach from here, offering an incongruous contrast to the wild wonders of Alaska.
A place where deep-sea fishermen bump shoulders with businesspeople on the 9-5, it’s a fascinating, remote city.
Home to almost half of the Alaskan population, Anchorage and its humble skyline are dwarfed by the snowy peaks of the
wilderness beyond. Don’t miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique culture, traditions, and heritage of the
First Nation people of these lands, too.

KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK
Wildlife thrives in icy waters and lush forests along the fjords once carved by the vast expanse of ice. From towering tidewater glaciers to pods of orcas and breaching humpback whales, Kenai Fjords National Park is the highlight of
many visitors’ trips to Alaska.

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. This stunning landscape of mountains and ocean boasts one of the most diverse
ecosystems of all of the national parks.
