Aialik Glacier
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadAialik Glacier pours down the mountains from the Harding Icefield as seen from the Aialik public use cabin on Aialik Bay in Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. The park, located near Seward, Alaska is known for its glaciers that flow out from the Harding Icefield, and the coastal fjords shaped by its receding glaciers. Approximately 51 percent of the park is covered by ice. The Harding Icefield, thousands of feet deep, is the largest icefield solely contained within the United States. Exit Glacier, is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska with easy walking trails leading up to the face of the glacier and more difficult trails leading up to the Harding Icefield which feeds Exit Glacier. Abundant land and sea life can be found within the parks boundaries including black and grizzly bears, Steller sea lions, puffins, humpback and orca whales. The park is a popular destination with sea kayakers who frequent Aialik Bay, Holgate Arm, Pederson Lagoon and Northwestern Fjord for magnificent views of the Aialik, Holgate, and Pederson glaciers. Tour companies offer boat tours out of Seward. SPECIAL NOTE: This image is a panorama composite consisting of multiple overlapping images stitched together.
