South of Anchorage the Kenai Peninsula folds into fjords where glaciers pour straight off the icefield into the sea. From Seward you can get out on the water among calving ice, humpbacks and orcas, sea otters, and rafts of puffins.
It’s the gentler, greener side of Alaska after the austerity of the far north — and a reminder that this leg is coastline as much as tundra.
