  Danger
    Hazardous Conditions at Terminus Of Aialik Glacier
    Entering an ice fall hazard zone is prohibited in Kenai
    Fjords National Park. The terminus of Aialik Glacier is a
    high-risk area, where unstable ice can fall in blocks or
    columns. This can generate localized tsunami waves that wash
    over newly deglaciated and nearby beaches. …

  Danger
    Canyon from Toe of Exit Glacier to the Outwash Plain
    The canyon from the toe of Exit Glacier to where Exit Creek
    opens into the Outwash Plain is susceptible to sudden
    outburst flood events. These events produce sudden surges of
    water, ice and rock. For your safety please stick to
    designated park trails.

  Caution
    Use Caution in and around Pedersen Lagoon
    On August 7, 2024, a landslide triggered tsunami washed over
    portions of Pedersen Lagoon near Aialik Bay (59.8842N,
