Exit Glacier

Ted. Seward is the home of Kenai Fjords National Park which features easy access to a glacier called Exit Glacier. The amusing name comes from a 1968 expedition across the adjacent Harding Icefield that exited via this glacier. 

Arriving early for a 10:00 am ranger walk, we happened upon an example of the local wildlife.

Ranger Teagan is a young ranger who grew up in Seward and is a student at Boston University. I can’t imagine the shock she felt on her first visit to that big city. During the walk, which took us near the base of the glacier, Teagan told us a bit about the fauna and geology of the area, as well as a bit about life in Seward.

It was a fun outing and we never saw a drop of rain the whole time!
