Seward, Alaska is at the head of the Resurrection Bay.

President Obama will be at one of the most beautiful places in the country, Resurrection Bay at Seward, Alaska.

The only exception to the beauty is the obvious effects of climate change. This pictures brings attention to whales in the bay, but, it also shows the scoured shorelines of Resurrection Bay. Those scoured rocks are evidence to the loss of glaciers and ice in Alaska. 

Perfect for families (click here) and just the right length to allow time for other activities in Seward, our Resurrection Bay Wildlife Tour, with an exclusive visit to Fox Island for a wild Alaskan salmon and prime rib buffet, is always a great choice!... 

The bay is home to some of the most incredible kayaking, especially realizing it empties to the Pacific Ocean which where the whales are coming from to enjoy and rest in calmer waters.

"Directly east of Seward, across the head of Resurrection Bay is a wooded valley with an extensive gravel out wash plain. A glacier stream known as Fourth of July Creek descends the valley from Godwin Glacier. The Fourth of July beach is an excellent camping and kayak staging area from which to launch and paddle the eastern shore of Resurrection Bay. The distance from Fourth of July Creek to Thumb Cove is 5 nautical miles."

If the press does not take this opportunity to showcase one of the most beautiful spots on Earth it would be an injustice to Americans.

Obama plans to hike the Exit Glacier near Seward and take a boat tour of Kenai Fjords National Park to see the impact of rising seas. "Climate change is no longer some far-off problem. It is happening here. It is happening now," Obama said on Monday in an address urging the world to agree later this year to new targets for cutting carbon emissions. On Monday, residents spruced up the town after a recent wind storm. "We get to showcase our piece of paradise to the president of the United States, and that means a lot to us as it would any town," Seward Mayor Jean Bardarson said in an interview....
