Named Glacier Features and Icefield Landscapes of Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska

This collection highlights the named glacier features situated within Kenai Fjords National Park, a region defined by the expansive Harding Icefield and coastal mountain terrain. By examining these persistent bodies of land ice, one can better understand the erosion, transport, and deposition processes that carve the deep valleys and fjords of the Kenai Peninsula. The data illustrates how individual ice bodies originate from high-altitude accumulations and shape the surrounding high-relief geography of south-central Alaska.

Streams

A stream is a natural flowing watercourse contained within a channel, generally smaller than a river but defined primarily by local naming and hydrological context. Streams may be perennial, seasonal, intermittent, spring-fed, glacial, or ephemeral and often form tributaries within larger drainage networks. No universal width or discharge threshold cleanly separates a stream from a river.
