Here Are The 9 Most Incredible Natural Wonders In Alaska
Alaska is full of natural wonders… from beaches alive with bald eagles and glaciers that stretch miles and miles, it’s hard to go anywhere in our beautiful state and not be impressed. Natural wonders are Alaska’s area of expertise, and with a state this big it’s hard not to have some pretty spectacular stuff going on around every turn.
Here is a list of the most spectacular, breath-taking, awe-inspiring natural wonders that anyone in Alaska can witness. Some people are so desensitized from seeing them every day they forget how truly spectacular these sights really are.
A stunning view of Pedersen Glacier with Aialik Bay in the foreground. You've got to love the Kenai Fjords National Park.
It wouldn't be hard to spend days on end exploring the beauty and natural splendors of Glacier Bay National Park.
Look at those snow covered hills on a bluebird day, what an Alaskan paradise! I could never get used to that sight.
A warm, sunny day for the Holgate Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park.
Some of the best natural splendors of our beautiful state are the enormous animals. 🙂 Who can get used to seeing massive moose walk down the highway in front of your car or a bear catching a fish right out of the air?
Is this "eight-legged" moose the cutest thing you've ever seen? Now imagine it right in your driveway! I'd be smiling all morning if that's what I woke up to. Caution, keep an eye out for their mama when you go out to start your car!
That big ol' Kodiak Bear smells the chicken fried steak you had for breakfast on your breath and wants a taste! Bears sure can be cute and curious!
Did you know that the volcanoes in Alaska make up over 75% of the volcanoes in the United States that have erupted in the last 200 years?! Yeah, Alaska takes her volcanoes seriously.

The powerful duo, the Cleveland Volcano and the Carlisle Volcano!
A mama polar bear and her cubs on the Beaufort Sea coast in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Lake Clark is the largest lake in Alaska. It's 40 miles long and 5 miles wide... holy huge!

Denali is the highest mountain in North America and the largest base-to-peak rise above sea level! Take that! Who wouldn't find Denali's 20,310 feet to be amazing and awe-inspiring?

Did you know that the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is the largest National Forest in the United States?
There is actually nothing more magical in this world than the dancing aurora borealis.
Is that not the most beautiful sight you've ever seen? I would love to witness those lights off my back deck every winter. Oh, Alaska, you are incredible.
Aren’t these truly magical? What other natural wonders would you add to this list?
