Aialik Glacier is the largest glacier in Aialik Bay, located in Kenai Fjords National Park. While fairly stable, the glacier calves most actively in May and June. Take a cruise from Seward to experience Aialik, or kayak your way! While you're there, be on the lookout for whales, porpoises, and seals. You may even see bears on the beach.
