Kesner Ice Cave (Alaska, USA)

The western maritime border of Alaska, the largest state in the United States in terms of area, is connected to the maritime border of Russia, while the eastern end extends as far as Asia. Alaska's proximity to the North Pole means that it is close to both Asia and Europe due to its extreme position in the globe. Despite being the largest of the 20 states in the United States, it is the last in terms of population.

The reason is that a lot of real territory is covered with a blanket of snow for twelve months as a result of which the population is very small. Another feature of Alaska is that Canada is located between it and the American mainland. The history of Alaska is also interesting in that in the 19th century, the United States bought the entire region from Russia at a nominal price of two cents per acre.

To the south of Alaska lies the 80-kilometer-long Alaska Range Mountains, the eastern end of which is known as the Delta Mountains. The 12-mile-long [12 km] mountain range is a wonderful combination of rushing rivers, lush green plateaus, and snow-capped peaks. Near the icy North Pole, this area of ​​Alaska is home to a number of glaciers.

In this region where nothing but white snow can be seen as far as the eye can see, from the outside of the Kessner Glacier, it seems as normal as any other glacier. But beneath the white and gray icy rocks of the Kessner Glacier, nature has created such a wonderful cave that it feels as if you have just left the earth and entered another magical world.

The last few years have seen an increase in the number of people wanting to enjoy hiking and skiing at Kesner Glacier. Especially in winter, when the whole region is covered with a blanket of snow, it is fun to move on. However, the road to Kesner Glacier, separate from other glaciers in Alaska, is initially rocky.

Grass can also be seen growing in the rugged climb. There is also a possibility of forgetting without Bhomiya in the region of snow-covered rocks. However, in winter and spring there is so much movement that the path to reach the cave becomes a footpath.

It is difficult to find the Kesner Cave at the Rock Fair, but once you see the mouth of the cave and enter the cave, you feel as if you have set foot in a unique creation. The glacier is formed by giant glaciers under water flowing from a glacier.

Melted water aims to come out of the cracks in the glacier and back into Mendenhall Lake. This flow of water creates a chasm-like cavity inside the glacier. The constant melting and freezing of the water around and inside the cavity gives the appearance of a thermocol design on the roof and walls of the cave.

There are about two million glaciers on Earth that contain huge reserves of potable water in the form of ice. It usually happens that glaciers melt a little in summer and expand back again in winter. But glaciers are melting due to rising global temperatures, but their rate of return in winter is declining.

The special reason why crowds flock to see Alaska's glaciers is that this rare sight created by nature will no longer exist for many years to come. Rising global temperatures and so-called global warming are causing changes in the world's environment, including the icy regions near the North Pole, and Alaska's glaciers are no exception.
