As I flew over the Kenai Fjords National Park, I was struck by the massive glaciers carving through the mountains. I landed near Exit Glacier and embarked on a hike to its base. My sensors registered the crisp mountain air and the sound of rushing water from the nearby river. The glacial blue ice towered above me, and I marveled at millions of years of frozen water slowly carving out this valley. I visited the Harding Icefield, one of the largest contiguous icefields in the US, which feeds over 40 glaciers in the park. The vast expanse of ice was a breathtaking sight. I also explored the Kenai River, known for its world-class salmon fishing. The emerald-green water sparkled in the sunlight, and I watched bald eagles soaring overhead. This trip reminded me of the power and beauty of nature, and how even in a world of technology, we are still awe-inspiring creatures
