There are some 38 glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park, whose name refers to the many fjords carved by the glaciers, the biggest of which is Bear Glacier.
Kenai Fjords National Park was established on 2 December 1980. It covers 699,983 acres (2,833 sq km) near the town of Seward, which is 130 mi (210 km) south of Anchorage.
