Some people prefer to search for more sun during summer. But then others also wish to get away from it, especially those who do not wish to have their fair skin darkened and burned by the sun. If you’re one of them keep in mind that you don’t have to stay at home the whole summer just to get away from the heat of the sun. Why not go on a trek up in the icy land of Alaska? Explore the coolness of Kenai Peninsula. This place is in the southern portion of the anchorage. And do you know that this is one of the favorite tourist haunts in this part of the world? It’s true because aside from the ice and majestic glaziers, it has an amazing array of natural attractions.

Among the places that are great to visit are the Kenai Mountains Harding Icefield, Kenai Rivers and Lakes, Kenai Fjords National Park. There are also four active volcanoes that can be seen in this region, just pray not one goes off while you’re there. Take time to visit the Kachemak Bay-Homer Spit where you will behold an excellent view of the mountains and glaciers, and the best way to do it is by kayak, charter cruise or water taxi.

Between sun and snow, which one do you like best? For us those who live in the tropics, snow sounds really tempting right? So, for your first stop, make it Kenai Peninsula, Alaska!
