In celebration of the National Park Service 99th birthday, Kenai Fjords National Park will debut its first-ever film, Where Ice and Ocean Meet.  The film will be shown starting at 9:00 a.m. in the Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor Center at 1212 4th Avenue.  It will continue to play every half hour during open hours until the visitor center closes for the season on September 13, 2015.

Where Ice and Ocean Meet introduces the dynamic world of Kenai Fjords National Park, a landscape sculpted by ice. The film explores the richness of the fjords' wildlife, from black oystercatchers to sea otters, black bears, and massive humpback whales.

We see the park from the perspective of a wilderness kayaker, a marine ecologist, and a Sugpiaq family, whose ancestors called these fjords home for thousands of years. 

Towering above it all is the glaciers' story —how they have shaped the park, how they have changed over the last one hundred years, and what the future may hold. 

Where Ice and Ocean Meet is a gorgeous visual exploration of the unique, beautiful, and ever-changing place that is Kenai Fjords National Park.

We hope you can join us!
