About this map

Kenai Fjords National Park and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge define this coastal landscape on the Kenai Peninsula. The interaction between glacial ice and the Pacific Ocean is the primary geographic feature, with several major ice masses descending toward the water. These include the massive Bear Glacier in the northeast and the Pedersen Glacier and Aialik Glacier to the west. The presence of Skee Glacier, Addison Glacier, and Lechner Glacier further illustrates the high-altitude ice fields that dominate the terrain surrounding the central inlet. Within the water, small landmarks such as Squab Island, Slate Island, and the hazard at Frozen Rock serve as essential navigational markers. The map also records the sheltered waters of Coleman Bay at the southern edge, providing a detailed look at the complex shoreline where the maritime refuge and national park boundaries meet.
