Kenai Fjords National Park is a national park on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska. It protects the Harding Icefield, which is one of the largest ice fields in the United States. There are some 38 glaciers in Kenai Fjords National Park, whose name refers to the many fjords carved by the glaciers, the biggest of which is Bear Glacier.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
