Kenai Fjords National Park

a CILC Content Provider

Kenai Fjords National Park is a land where mountains and glaciers pour into an ocean teeming with life. The ice age lingers here in the Harding Icefield which works as a thermostat for surrounding terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The Harding is the largest intact icefield contained within the United States and the park is considered a living laboratory for scientists to learn about our changing climate. We hope to bring a part of this Alaskan wilderness in to your classroom and engage students to consider the National Parks as beautiful places that belong to them.
