The Harding and Sargent Icefields, as well as the many glaciers that emanate from them, originate in the Kenai Mountains.[1] Several prime fish-producing rivers, including the Kenai River and the Russian River, also flow from the mountains.
The Dena'ina call the mountains Yaghanen Dghili, meaning "good land mountains".[2] The name "Kenai" was first published by Constantin Grewingk in 1849, who obtained his information from I. G. Wosnesenski's account of a voyage to the area in 1842.
