Author Description

Excerpt from Resource Management Plan, Kenai Fjords National Park Plan (nps 1988) reports that about acres have been conveyed to the State of Alaska and private landowners and another acres are being selected by Native Corporations.] About half of the acreage is covered by the Harding Icefield and adjacent glaciers which feed into and adorn the steep, rugged fjords and valleys. The abundance of fresh water and circulation of sea water by the Alaska Coastal Current provide for a rich coastal and marine environment. Seward serves as the gateway city to the park since it is connected to Anchorage, the state population and supply center, by state highway and railroad. The park is accessible by gravel road from the highway, marine waters, and air. Because of its location, accessibility and dramatic resources, the park has become one of the most visited national parks in Alaska.
