Resurrection Bay at Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

From 1733 to 1867, Russia laid claim to the land that is now Alaska, our 49th state. And it was Alexander Baranov, the first governor of Russian America, who named Resurrection Bay. A terrible storm beset Baranov and his crew along the coast of what is now called Kenai Fjords. They waited out the storm at this spot, and when the weather finally turned for the better, it was Easter Sunday, prompting Baranov to name this spot Resurrection Bay. Today it’s part of Kenai Fjords National Park.
