Description

Alaska, the land of the midnight sun. I had to wait until midnight for an opportunity to shoot a sunset of Pederson Glacier from the boardwalk at the edge of the lagoon on the property of Alaska Wildland Adventure's Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge. The magic light and color of sunset did not last very long but there was about a million mosquitoes so I did not mind that light faded fast.

Located 50 miles southwest of Seward, Alaska, Pedersen Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary is comprised of 1,700 acres of land within Kenai Fjords National Park. Over the course of the past century, Pedersen Glacier has been gradually receding, revealing Pedersen Spit and Lagoon. Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge is situated upon 10 acres of the 1,700 acre wildlife sanctuary. The lodge was developed with deliberate care and concern to minimize impact on the surrounding area. In collaboration with the Port Graham Native Corporation, the Glacier Lodge hopes to help protect Pedersen Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary for generations to come.
