Kenai Fjords National Park
Cataract Cove
Cataract cove is located in harris bay, within kenai fjords national park. it's one of the most remote locations in the park. it is named for the waterfalls that cascade down over the 1,000 foot granite cliffs. cataract cove is come to a wide variety of seabirds, like puffins, murrelets, ducks, & guillemots. coastal mountain goats can often be spotted high up on the cliffs.
Northwestern Glacier
Northwestern Glacier is located at the head of Northwestern Fjord. A geologist at Northwestern University named this amazing glacier after the university while on an expedition in 1909. Since then, Northwestern Glacier has receded more than six miles back towards its origin at the Harding Icefield. Today, Northwestern Glacier is over 1,000 feet tall in places, and flows about 5 1/2 miles from the harding icefield to the fjord. Visitors can often see Harbor Seals floating on ice at the face of the glacier, and the rare Kittlitz's Murrelet can be spotted in the fjord if you're lucky!
Spire Cove
Spire Cove is a geologic wonder located in resurrection bay. The shoreline here is made of greywacke shale, which can crumble into the sea more rapidly than other kinds of rock. As a result of erosion from the waves, a variety of sea stacks, arches, and caves have formed here. Colorful sea stars can be seen here, and the caves are home to many nesting sea birds, like the red faced cormorant.
Aurora Borealis
If you're visiting Kenai Fjords National Park in the winter, you might be lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis, the NOrthern Lights, on a clear night with good conditions. we can thank the sun for this natural phenomenon; the Aurora is affected by things like solar wind speed, direction, and density, as well as solar activity like storms and ejections.
