Seward: Seward Boat Harbor
Among the places of Alaska, Seward stands out for its sheltered boat harbor on Resurrection Bay, enclosed by the Kenai Mountains. At the head of this long, fjord-like bay on the Kenai Peninsula, the town is a maritime base for commercial fishing, recreation and vessels heading into Kenai Fjords National Park. Alaska Railroad tracks end in Seward, a town founded in 1903 as a port linking the coast with Alaska's interior. Seward Boat Harbor concentrates marina slips and fishing vessels south of the town center, underscoring the community's working connection to the bay. Mount Marathon rises immediately behind the town and lends its name to the Mount Marathon Race, a Fourth of July tradition dating to 1915.

Seward occupies the head of Resurrection Bay on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, where steep glaciated mountains meet the waters leading to the Gulf of Alaska. The town is the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad and a working harbor, shaped by maritime travel and links to the state’s interior. Nearby Exit Glacier, part of Kenai Fjords National Park, gives visitors close access to an icefield-fed glacier, while harbor boats travel toward the fjords beyond the bay. Each July, the Mount Marathon Race brings a longstanding local tradition to the slopes above town.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
