The Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1980 to protect the biodiversity of the coast and to preserve the living environment of the local Native American population. It is a majestic land of high mountain peaks, broad valleys, rolling tundra, glacial lakes and rugged Pacific coasts with fjords and sandy beaches.

In the Alaska Peninsula Reserve is the huge active volcano Veniamin with a base diameter of 48 km. Its most recent eruptions were in 1993 and 1995. It is also home to the largest glacier in the country, in the middle of which is an active volcano.

The diversity of animals is great. Brown bears, a herd of about 7,000 reindeer, wolves, wolverines, foxes, beavers, etc. can be found. Sea otters, seals, sea elephants and grey whales can be seen off the coast. There are about 200 species of birds.
