Alaska is truly a natural wonderland….and should not be missed. 阿拉斯加是真正的自然仙境......千萬不要錯過 Below we’ve highlighted some of the wilderness areas we’ll explore while in Alaska. 接下來,我們將把在阿拉斯加仙境探索一一介紹給你! Kenai Fjords National Park 基奈峽灣國家公園 Kenai Fjords National Park is a world famous national park located on the south coast of Alaska. It is 1200 sq. miles in size, of which more than 50% is covered by ice. More than 40 glaciers flow down from the mountainous interior, terminating either in lakes or fjords. Large animals that can be seen in the park include Alaskan brown bears, moose and mountain goats. Marine mammals that can be spotted in the waters of the park include whales, orcas, porpoises, sea otters and sea lions. 基奈峽灣國家公園位於阿拉斯加南部海岸, 是世界著名的國家園。 約1,200平方英里大,超過50%的被冰覆蓋。 超過40條冰河從山上流下來,形成湖泊或峽灣。 國家公園中有機會可以看到阿拉斯加棕熊、 駝鹿和山羊等大型動物;附近水域中可以發現鯨魚、逆戟鯨、 海豚、海獺和海獅等哺乳類動物。 Harding Icefield 哈丁冰原 The Harding Icefield is an enormous expanse of ice, which forms the frozen heart of the Kenai Peninsula. It is one of the largest ice fields in all of North America, measuring 300 square miles in size. The terrain is very rugged and forbidding, as there are many deep crevasses. It was first crossed in 1968 by a group of experienced mountaineers. The crossing, from Homer to Seward, took 8 days to complete. 哈丁冰原是全北美最廣大的冰原之一,佔地三百平方公尺的巨冰,也是基奈半島的冰凍中心。由於擁有許多深度的冰隙,地形崎嶇且十分險峻。首批橫越哈丁冰原的是一群經驗老到的登山好手,在1968年從荷馬市橫越哈丁冰原抵達蘇華德市,共花了八天的時間才完成。 Exit Glacier 出口冰川 Exit Glacier is the most accessible glacier within the Kenai Fjords National Park. It is a relatively stable glacier and is safe to explore with experienced guides. It was visited in 2015 by President Obama. 出口冰川是基奈國家公園中最容易抵達的冰川口,地形較其他冰原平穩,跟隨經驗老到的嚮導一起探索十分安全。歐巴馬總統就曾經於2015年到訪此處。 Chugach National Forest 楚加奇國家森林公園 The Chugach National forest is a very wild area and includes extensive shorelines, glaciers, forests and rivers, much of which is untouched by roads or trails. There is an abundant amount of wild animals in this area. More bald eagles are found here than in the lower 48 states combined. 楚加奇國家森林公園位於阿拉斯加非常郊區的地方,包含綿延的海岸線、冰川、樹林和河流,其中不乏道路和步道仍未觸及的地方。國家森林內有各類的野生動物居住其中,並且數量繁多到在此處發現的白頭鷹數量比美國四十八州加總的數量還要多。 Kenai National Wildlife Refuge 基奈國家野生動物保護區 The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is a 1.92 million acre wildlife preserve situated on the Kenai Peninsula. The terrain encompasses lowland lake systems, taiga forest and alpine areas. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife including black and brown bears, moose, caribou and wolves. This is the area where we will be doing our canoe expedition. 基奈國家野生動物保護區座落於基奈半島,佔地達1.92百萬英畝。保護區包含地窪的湖泊系統、北方針葉林及高山地區,是黑熊、棕熊、麋鹿、北美馴鹿和狼群等各式各樣野生動物的家園。我們也將會在這裡進行為期四天的獨木舟探險。 Kachemak Bay State Park 卡徹馬克灣國家公園
Kachemak Bay State Park, which is located on the south-western edge of the Kenai peninsula, is Alaska’s first and only state designated state park. It is considered a critical habitat because of the biodiversity of the area. Terrain consists of both rocky and sandy beaches, dense mountain forests, and higher up, glaciers, and icefields. 位於基奈半島西南緣的卡徹馬克灣國家公園,是阿拉斯加首座也是唯一一座由國家指定的國家公園。因為其多樣性的生態物種被視為關鍵棲息地。地形由沙石混合的海灘、濃密的高山森林所組成;越往上則是由冰川和冰原所組成。 瞭解更多: 學生將與海洋生態專家學什麼? 阿拉斯加15日行程
