List of National Parks exhibiting Alaskan Geology

Alaska contains many geologic terraines. Noatak, Cape Krusenstern, Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley all lie in the northern mountain belts and coastal plains. Bering Land Bridge, Yukon-Charley Rivers and a portion of Denali exist within the plains of the center of the state. The majority of Denali, Aniakchak, Katmai, Alagnak, Lake Clark, Kenai Fjords, Wrangell-St. Elias, Glacier Bay, Klondike Gold Rush and Sitka lay within the southern mountinous belts, which borders the Gulf of Alaska and runs out along the peninsula.
