We live with titanic physical forces.
Kachemak Bay is carved by glaciers, its mountains
wedged upward by the collision of great tectonic
plates, its shoreline sunken by earthquake.
It lies within the spouting ash reach of five
active volcanoes. Wild winds whip the sea's
waters into white-capped waves.
A land of contrasts, the blue boundary of Kachemak
Bay joins the rugged south shore fjords and
the straight bluffs and mudflats of the north
shore. Freshwater rivers and streams flow into
saltwater.
