One of our biggest challenges is finding a way to share the Cape Krusenstern experience with those who do not have the opportunity to visit the park in person. We have created a Flickr website as a way to extend the virtual monument boundary to encompass all those who love and support our national parks, wherever they may be. Any visitor who would like to volunteer a sample of a trip to Cape Krusenstern National Monument is encouraged to join the park group on Flickr to post photos, video clips and journal entries to share with others.

The Chukchi Sea is ice-covered from November until May.  Ice formation begins in October, with the ice edge from the permanent polar ice pack extending progressively southward until late March. The northward retreat of the ice edge begins in April and continues until late September.
