Kenai Peninsula

 
The Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage, is a popular excursion and holiday destination. The larger settlements on the peninsula - Homer, Seward and Kenai, the chief town, are easily accessible on Highway 1 or 9; and Seward, a fishing port, is also the terminus of the Alaska Railroad. Seward is an excellent base for excursions into Kenai Fjords National Park.

With its glaciers and fjords, the scenery of this National Park, centred on the Harding Icefield, is reminiscent of the west coast of Norway; there is a car accessible road to the Exit Glacier. Here birdwatchers will be able to observe many species of birds. Highway 1 ends in the fishing village of Homer, a popular resort for visitors with its comparatively mild climate and beautiful situation on Kachemak Bay (Pratt Museum, with exhibits illustrating the culture of the Eskimos, Aleuts and early Russian settlers; camping, fishing, boat trips).
