Kenai glaciers map

Caption

Kenai Fjords National Park is on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula and is dominated by two major icefields. The 19 glaciers included in the study are shown as blue dots. While Alaska glaciers are just a small fraction of the planet’s glacial ice, they are losing ice faster than any other glacierized region outside of Antarctica and Greenland.
